Dryer power is on but dryer wont work need to check thermol fuse How to remove housing to access Thermol fuse from LG dryer model number DLE5001W.

SOURCE: kenmore home dryer not heating but will turn on and spin

If your dryer turns on, but does not heat, the Thermal Fuse is GOOD. A blown Thermal Fuse will stop a dryer completely.

If the dryer turns on, drum spins, but you have no heat, any of the following components could be bad:

Heating Element
Thermal Cut-Out
Hi-Limit Thermostat

Getting to those components to determine if they are good or bad is the next step. If your dryer has the lint screen on the top of the unit, you will need to remove the back panel of the dryer to expose the heating circuits. If the dryer has the lint screen in the door, you will need to remove the lower kick panel under the door by using a putty knife to release the retaining clips. They will be located along the the seam in the front about 2 inches in from each side.

The heating circuit should be troubleshot with the dryer UNPLUGGED. Resistance readings are as follows:

Heating Element (located inside heater box) - take reading across the two RED leads on the heating element. It should read 9 - 13 ohms.

Thermal Cut-Out (mounted to the heater box.) - unplug wires and take reading across connector tabs. Reading should be 0 ohms.

Hi-Limit Thermostat (mounted to the heater box, closest to the heating element leads) - unplug wires and take reading across connector tabs. Reading should be 0 ohms.

If any of the above readings are abnormal, replace the component. NOTE: If the TCO or Hi-Limit Thermostat is defective it is highly recommended to replace BOTH components at the same time. They are often sold as a set.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Post back with comments if you have any further questions.

Before starting troubleshooting-Unplug the dryer, because you will be removing front panel for this check.
There are several things that can cause your problem:
#1 of which is a clogged up lint trap and/or vent duct raising the heat that could cause your thermal fuse to open (blow). What to do: Make sure that duct and vent outside of wall are clear, if they were obstructed, then the thermal fuse can be checked for continuity with an ohm meter, it is located in the fan housing with 2 terminals coming off of it, if it does not have continuity (connection) between terminals, you will need to replace it, simple and less than $15 bucks.
NOTE: this problem can also be caused by a bad thermostat letting dryer get to hot which in turn blows the thermal fuse., sooo after changing thermal fuse you need to check that the temperature of air leaving dryer duct does not exceed 150 degrees, if it does replace the thermostat for less than $25 bucks, this maybe be what caused your problem in the first place. Good Luck!

SOURCE: put new thermol cutoff on dryer started to heat

Hi, The top of the dryer usually gets to hot when there is an airflow issue. Check the 4" vent to the outside and make sure it is clear of any lint or bends. If the vent appears open, check the duct work inside the dryer. Airflow issues cuase the thermal cutoff to go bad. The less common problem is the heating element shorting out agianst the housing it is in. Very unlikely but possible.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks

Check your exhaust duct - the long tube that goes from the back of your dryer to the vent outside. It may be clogged with lint.

That or the heating coil has burnt out. You can check the coil by using an electric meter and set it on ohms. Connect one lead of the meter to one side of the coil and the other lead to the other side of the coil. If you get a signal (beep) then the coil is good and the thermal switch is possibly bad. If no signal then the coil is bad
