My dryer began blowing a fuse during its main cycle. The first time it tripped a fuse, I reset the fuse and tried the dryer again. While it ran, it had no heat for a while. When it did heat up, it blew the fuse again. The maintence technicians at my apartment and my dad all think it's the heating element--which they say isn't a hard fix. But when I try to set up a service call, most places want $100 to come out to fix it. One of the maintence techs at my apartment offered to fix it for me if I get the part--but I want to be sure that's the part I need. So what do you think--does it sound like a heating element to you all? Should I also grab a thermostat just in case?

PS--It's been busted since MAY, and we're getting really tired of hanging everything to dry on drying racks!

well, he just took a look at it, and didn't see anything really malfunctioning. It looked like the issue was too much dust on the temp. sensor. Hopefully, that will do it. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks for the reply
