Product review (5 stars): Simply, this fuse will either work or not. ...
Simply, this fuse will either work or not. In testing the old fuse i connected both terminal with a piece of wire to see if it works. Since the fuse is basic and provide continuity, then by connecting both terminals it provided a constant connection. If your dryer operates with this, then replace the fuse. Don't keep running the dryer with the wire for it could catch on fire with the exposed wire that you connected or the could be more issues and this only bypass one of the safety precautions set by the manufacturer.
