TIL you can test a dryer's thermal fuse with a $9 multimeter instead of guessing
I used to just swap parts on dryers that wouldn't heat, and half the time I'd eat the cost of a heating element I didn't need. Three weeks ago a guy in Cleveland called with a 12 year old Whirlpool that ran but blew cold air, and I finally slowed down and ohm tested the thermal fuse first. It read open, so I replaced that $6 part and the thing fired right up. Now I test the fuse, the element, and the thermostat in that order before I touch anything else, and my come-backs have basically stopped. Anybody got a cheap meter they trust for this kind of work?
