I would like to check to see if the thermo fuse on my dryer is the problem that needs fixed…I have a Sperry ohm meter DM-210A but I’m not quite sure how to use it…does the power have to be on to the dryer?..and how do I set the meter to show me if this is the problem? I’ve double checked everything 10 times with the dryer…the timer runs, it begins to heat but when I press the on button nothing happens…checked door also and breaker box…thanks:confused:
I can’t tell you how to set your meter w/o seeing it, but you can check your t-fuse by:
Unplug dryer
Remove the wires from the t-fuse and jump them together
Make sure wires (now connected) aren’t touching anything conductive (metal)
Plug dryer in and start. If the dryer starts, runs, and heats replace t-fuse.
KRO,
