My dryer died on me yesterday, and I've identified
the culprit as being the item circled in red on the picture below.
I know that's problem because if I by-pass it by connecting
both wires directly, the dryer works fine.
So I assume this is some kind of sensor or fuse,
but I have no idea what it is.
I've got the dryer manual in front of me, and this does not appear
in the schems anywhere.
So does anyone know what this is ?
...and what risk am I taking by by-passing it ?
(...I've got 3 boys and 6 loads of laundry to do ... ;-)
Any info would be great.
