    Distinguish From Similar Parts: Thermal fuses, high-limit thermostats and cycling thermostats may mount nearby but have different ratings and functions.
    Possible Related Symptoms / Reasons to Inspect: A no-start or no-heat condition may justify continuity testing, but a blown fuse also requires checking airflow and the cause of overheating.
    Important Safety / Service Note: Disconnect dryer power before testing/replacement. Never bypass a thermal fuse; correct the underlying overheating or airflow problem.
    Ordering Note: Symptoms can identify a system to inspect, but they do not prove this specific component is defective. Confirm the exact OEM part number and model-specific parts diagram/service information before ordering.
