Shoutout to the guys who think a new thermal fuse fixes every dryer that won't heat

I see this all the time... someone swaps the fuse, it heats for a day, then the same thing happens again. The real issue is almost always a clogged vent line, which you can check with a simple $5 anemometer. How many times have you had to go back for the same job?

Man I learned that lesson the hard way. Did the fuse swap on my own dryer like three times before I gave up. My vent line was so packed with lint it was basically a solid tube. Felt pretty dumb after that, but hey, at least my dryer works now.

Ever check the outside vent cover too, @sean_foster52? Mine was totally blocked by a bird nest. A clean vent line makes a huge difference.
