Why I skip the thermal fuse check on dryers sometimes

I know most techs say to always test the thermal fuse first on dryers. In my experience, if the dryer has heat but no tumble, it's usually the motor or belt. Checking the fuse first just adds extra steps for common problems. I only test it after ruling out the obvious issues like the door switch or timer.

So with "heat but no tumble," you just skip to the fun part of dryer repair, huh?

That belt is always the culprit, right @the_julia?
