We have a White Westinghouse electric dryer that's about 10 years old. In the past two weeks, it has blown the glass fuse on the heating element leg of the 240v connection. I checked the lint screen & it's normal, we clean it before every load. I also checked the dryer venting - again no problems. Not having a way to check the air pressure coming out the vent @ the dryer, it feels like it's putting out the same amount of air it always has. While I had it pulled out, after running it for about 5 mins then shutting it off, the rear of the unit was VERY HOT !!! I realize on the opposite side of the rear panel is the heating element though. The element is about 14" in diameter, but you can see where the hottest points of the element are - between the 10 o'clock & the 3 o'clock positions. In fact, it must have gotten so hot in the past because it's changed the color of the sticker/paint in that location. Now... where do I start to cool off my dryer??? Thanks in advance !

I bought new Admiral ADE7000AYW Electric Dryer in July 2005 at Home Depot with Extended Service Plan. Two days ago I was going to dry some clothes and discovered that there is no power to the unit. Drum light is not on when the door is open and I can not get it to run with the controls on top. Checked circuit breaker panel and nothing looked out of the ordinary. Any ideas or a fix? Thanks.
