maybe, but I'm a lucky Duck,.. nothing wrong with the dryer, doesn't seem too hot to me, I think that weakass fuse was overkill.
I worried enough to keep a close watch on it, it's been 7-8 years now.

It was probably undersized by the manufacturer. But obviously at 7 years your ok.

if my house burns down now, I will haunt you for jinxing me

Just buy a new fuse.

I did, then it burned out again, it's a pain in the ass getting the backplate off to get to the fuse, so the 2nd time I bypassed it to test the dryer and see if anything seemed wrong,.. seemed ok.
I called around some, they didn't have stronger fuses, so I said fuck it and hoped for the best.

It only gets better.

nah, Danger is my middle name

Or Dangerfield.
