Wrote off a 15 year old Samsung dryer, then it fixed itself after I swapped the thermal fuse
Everyone says replace the board when a dryer throws random codes, but I had a beat up model in a rental near Austin where the thermal fuse was reading open only when hot. After swapping that $9 part instead of the $180 control board, it's been running 6 weeks straight. Has anyone else found that old dryers act up due to heat cycling on the fuse rather than actual electronics?

Funny thing is I once swapped a whole board on a dryer that turned out to be a loose wire I bumped while pulling the old one out. Felt real smart standing there with a $180 part in my hand and a dryer that never had anything wrong with it. Heat cycling cooking those little fuses makes way more sense than half the electronics advice floating around out there.
