I'm ready to take up drinking again Went to the site (Thanks Dave) and figures it might be the igniter. Went over to Raynham got the part and installed it, no heat still. The site slao says it could be a thermal fuse. Only problem is I can't find anything that remotely resembles the part pictured on the site??????????

Found the problem. I removed the thermal fuse and connected the 2 wire ends.... Voila heat. Now I can pick up a new fuse on Monday and be back in business. I tried talking my wife into giving me the money it would have cost to have a repair man fix it ....... NOT

Nice going Dave.
Dryer looks like mine did a few months ago. Stubborn/cheap bastards we are..

It's threads like this that remind me why I never got married.
It's not being stubborn or cheap.
Self sufficient.
I hate paying for something I can figure out myself.
Leaves so much more money left for "The other stuff."
