My Maytag Performa PYE3300 electric dryer won't turn on. Checked breaker and source plug. I've been hearing it might be the thermal fuse. I did check for continuity on the fuse with a multimeter and there is none. My question is will the thermal fuse cause the entire dryer not to start, even the drum light doesn't come on when the door is open?
