How do you fix a dryer that won’t turn on?
When the lint is removed, use a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to clean metal contact areas. Check the power supply, including fuses and circuit breakers. When replacing a fuse, be sure to use a time-delay fuse. Check the dryer’s internal thermal fuse. If it is blown, the dryer will not start.
What happens if one fuse is blown on a dryer?
The drum can still turn if just one fuse is blown, but there will be no heat. You may need to replace both fuses or reset both circuit breakers. If the dryer’s thermal fuse has blown due to a power surge or other mechanical problem, the dryer won’t heat.

Why does my dryer turn off after a few minutes?
When a dryer shuts off abruptly after “working perfectly,” it is usually a problem with either the thermostat, the thermal resistor, or the thermal fuse that turns off the dryer to prevent overheating. You can check each of these parts with a voltage meter to determine if they are working properly or if they need to be replaced.
