Fifteen guides here, and the useful way to see them is as a heat chain plus a drive chain. Heat: the heating element, the cycling thermostat, the thermal fuse, and the DrySense moisture sensor bars that decide when the load is finished. Drive: the drive belt, the support rollers, and a drum that has stopped turning. Around both are the complaints people actually search for — no heat, no start — and the practical jobs: lint trap housing, door handle, deep clean, power cord.
A thermal fuse is the reason to start at the top of the heat chain rather than the middle. It opens because airflow was restricted, so replacing it without clearing the lint housing and vent buys a few loads and the same failure. From there the cycling thermostat and the element are separated by measurement, not by guesswork. A drum that will not turn is the other branch entirely: belt first, then support rollers, because worn rollers are what wore the belt.
The electric side of this dryer is where a homeowner should stop. The power cord and its terminal block are at 240 volts, and a four-prong conversion has to land the neutral and ground correctly rather than approximately. Airflow is the second boundary, not because it is dangerous to inspect but because a blocked vent is a fire risk that a new fuse hides.
