Product review (1 stars): Defective Thermostat, burned out the Fuse instantly
I purchased this GARP 279816 Compatible Replacement for Dryer Thermal Fuse Kit fits most Brands from the seller Vijay Holdings and the shipping was fulfilled by Amazon FBA.

My fuse blew because I had a blocked up dryer vent. After clearing it I replaced the fuse and saw the review suggested I replace the thermostat as well. I went ahead and did and the instant I turned the dryer on the fuse blew. There was no heat for it to blow, there was just some sort of wiring issue inside the thermostat (most likely) that caused it to blow instantly. I put the old thermostat back in, bypassed the fuse until I could complete the return and get a new one, at which point I swapped the fuse and everything was working just fine.

I do want to be very clear, by instantly, I mean the second I turned the dryer on. There was no heat yet, it was simple push button, and done. Fuse was raised up and heat was cut off. I had previously tested the fuse with a multimeter so I know it was working before it was plugged in and turned on.

Vijay Holdings was a little slow in response when I emailed them to ask for help, but took the return without question. These weren't GARP, but they were some compatible piece and was unbranded.
