    Default RCA (GE) Dryer is Dead

    From what i can see my RCA dryer (Model #BJLR473GVOWW) is a newer GE style dryer.

    It looks like it might be a thermal fuse issue, as i did check the door switch and it seems ok.

    Does anyone know what the proper fuse is and where is it on the dryer?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I don't see a thermal fuse on this model,

    Check your wiring diagram for one, your wiring diagram is located inside the console control.

    Check your outlet were your dryer plugs into, get a lamp or hair dryer and plug it in were your dryer is plugged into, if the lamp or hair dryer doesn't work, then the problem is in your outlet or breaker to that outlet.
