Our dryer recently stopped heating so I pulled it apart and found that the wire connecting the thermostat to the thermal fuse was fried. So, I replaced the wire, thermostat and thermal fuse and it started working fine again. Now, 3 weeks later the wife says no heat again. I pull it apart and now it's fried at the connection to the heating element.
1. Can I just replace the wire or will I most likely need to replace that ceramic connector piece as well...and can it be purchased separately from the heating element assembly?
2. Is there something else going wrong here that I should be investigating?
Also, in Feb 2017 I replaced the heating element, thermostat, thermistor and thermal fuse and things worked fine until a month ago. I think the cause on the original failure was leaves blocking the vent, but I have no idea what is causing the latest problems.
