I am SO thankful for the repair!
I was on my last "try" to fix my dryer. I had replaced the thermal sensor (first try), the heating element (second try) and finally the cut off fuse kit. IT WORKED! I have a working dryer!

Use online YouTube technical videos
Any DIY'ers would be wise to utilize the YouTube instructional videos. The directions that came with my product were vague at best but I had already been instructed, via online videos, to my specific make and model replacement procedures and it WAS a breeze. 25 minutes.
