🔨 Tools You'll Need
📋 Step-by-Step Instructions
Unplug the dryer (critical — 240V is lethal)
Remove the back panel
Locate the thermal fuse on the blower housing
Test continuity with a multimeter — no continuity = blown fuse
Replace fuse AND check for blocked vent (fuses blow from overheating)
If fuse is fine, test heating element for continuity
