How to Change the Fuse in a GE Harmony Dryer

The GE Harmony dryer works with a temperature-sensitive fuse to stop the heating element if the part begins overheating. With normal operation, the fuse will close the switch as the Harmony cools down to resume drying clothes. If the fuse burns out, replace it yourself in less than an hour to save money on a repair bill. New fuses are available at appliance repair stores or directly from GE. Take the old fuse with you to the store to match for the correct part.
