Product review (5 stars): Did the job to fix my 19 year old Kenmore dryer
My 19 year old Kenmore dryer just stopped working in between loads Labor Day weekend.  The dryer would not turn on.  After checking the circuit breaker and the plug, I googled what could go be wrong.  I discovered that the thermal fuse is one of the prime culprits in dryer break downs.  Checked price on Sears.com and fuse was $16...then I checked on amazon.com and price was $3.50...ordered on Sunday 9/1 (Labor Day Weekend) and received on Thursday, 9/5.  Very easy to replace on my own (I am a 43 year old mom of two with no mechanical/repair background)...the most difficult part was getting the back cover of the dryer back on properly.  Dried a load last night and my dryer is working perfectly again.
