Product review (5 stars): Keep your lint filter and exhaust line clean.... so you won't need this.
Maytag MED6000AWD would turn on.... but when you hit the "start" button, you could hear a slight click and nothing would happen. Did a Google search, and came up with the Thermal Fuse was a real probability. So I took off the back of the dryer and pulled the fuse.... Sure enough, the fuse did not OHM out (indicating that it had blown). Ordered the Supco Thermal Fuse and in 2 days It was installed, Put the dryer back together. CROSSED MY FINGERS....... and pressed Start and BINGO!!!!! the dryer works perfect again.
The reason these blow.... is the air is not moving enough (exhausting), and this is a safety fuse to prevent further damage or fire. IE: keep your lint filter clean, and make sure the exhaust line is clean including where it vents to the outside.
