To test a thermal fuse, you need to follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the home appliance from the electric power supply.
2. Find the thermal fuse.
3. Uncover the thermal fuse.
4. Use an ohmmeter or multimeter to test the thermal fuse.
5. Touch the red and black probe from the multimeter to the two wires attached to the thermal fuse.
6. If the multimeter remains silent, the thermal fuse is probably bad.

You can also test a thermal fuse without using a multimeter. To do this, use a thin wire to connect the two terminals together. Next, plug in your dryer. If it heats, then the thermal fuse is damaged. However, if the dryer does not heat, the thermal fuse is still good and something else is at fault for your dryer problems.
