Fixed my dryer running but not heating issue - easy and simple

Did a little research on why my dryer would turn on and run but not heat. Said that this little part is 45% of the time the cause of this. Simple multi bit screwdriver, a couple beers, and this tiny little part, my dryer is up and running perfectly. Been a month since installed, no issues.If I was to do it again, since I had the whole back of dryer open, I would have bought the multi part deal for my dryer and just replaced all of it so it was all brand new. The multi part I'm referring to is this thermal fuse, and two other tiny thermostats. It was 10$ more, but if youre reading this and youre going to do the work, might as well swap all 3 just for peace of mind and not having the frustration of pulling 20 screws out of a back of a dryer again. hahaOverall, 30 mins to swap. Anyone who can take some screws out with some hex bits (easiest, no slip) or Phillips and flat head, can do this job very easily. Simply remove dryer duct, back panel, locate thermal fuse, take screw out, take off wire leads, remember how they went on or take one off and put it on exact spot on new one and then do the other (what I did) not really sure if it matters or not, put screw back in for thermal fuse, put back on to dryer, duct back on to dryer, and you just saved $100s from having a repair man do it.Some thing I did a little extra - unscrewed lint shoot - cleaned all the lint with vacuum inside unit and in lint shoot, and of course vacuumed the areaHope this helped!
