I believe many people would have just gone out an purchased a new clothes dryer.  This very inexpensive item along with an online you tube video got the job done and saved us hundreds of dollars.
After this fix, our toaster oven stopped working.  It was a $250 top of the line unit.  Another thermal fuse, and another quick fix for under $5.00.
We will never throw out an appliance before checking on line how to repair it.
This has been an eye opening experience.
