[QUOTE="tyromeo55, post: 1336231, member: 1719"] all Common. Re-string / Element Kits are not expensive at all and should also be in stock. I'd venture a guess that the thermal fuse is going to cost you more. Which one was it can you take a picture of it and where you took it out from? Usually it;s the long white one and they are like 15 bucks I think When the Element shorts out mid string it has a lower impedance which in turn has a higher current demand and usually burns up the thermal fuse that is not rated for that amount. Oh yea... KEEP IT UNPLUGGED UNTILL IT IS FIXED! the heater could come on by itself or it could shock you to touch the dryer [/QUOTE]
