Put in new fuse; still running hot. Setting on timer won't even move. It runs in the same place until I turn it off. Thermal fuse blew a second time. Is there a thermostat issue? Is it the timer control? I would like some idea of what to look for since I have been told it could be about 4 different things.:confused:

Part number: AP3131939 Also, I know you cleaned it out, but did you take the cover off of the blower and clean it out from the top to bottom. (yeah, you probably did but check it anyway) Good luck.
