The cord doesn't overheat by itself or cause a fuse to open - something it is connected to is causing the problem.

I viewed the manual but I don't see what the voltage for this is. First make sure you're providing the proper voltage (most likely 120 or 240 volts if in North America) to the appliance.

Next, shut power off to the circuit and then plug and unplug the dryer from the outlet several times to see how well it holds the prongs of the plug. It should grip the plug prongs tightly. If it does not - this loose/ poor connection can be the source of the excessive heat. It will be necessary to replace the plug before going forward.

Next, make sure that you are operating the dryer as per manufacturer's instructions - paying particular attention to inspecting, cleaning and any other maintenance that is done before or after each use - such as lint filters and air intake filters as described on page 11 of the manual (linked below).

If all these check out and you still have problems, contact the manufacturer directly:

As far as a replacement a cordset - you should be able to find them at big box stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy and others that sell appliances.

Samsung dryer issue

Do NOT up amps on fuse, needs only 30 amp fuse, more than that risk of fire. I would replace power cord with new one hardware stores carry them. If old cord plug pronges are burnt, or discolored, should be bright color of brass not dark. Then check terminal block in back for same condition.

Maytag dryer is less than 3 years old. Blew thermal fuse. Cleaned all of the venting inside and out. dryer still overheating and blowing the thermal fuse. Replaced the thermal fuse and the high temp sensor...

Have you tried replacing the operating thermastat it's what shuts it off at the right temp and would cause the thermal fuse to go if it is not shuting.off at the right temp. It happens.
Hope this helps.

Trying to change a 3 prong dryer outlet cord to 4 prong

you evidentally got a hot phase and a neutral mixed up on the terminal board which made the case of the unit hot 120volts,then it backfed through the case ground wire back to the neutral and this blew the fuse/breaker,if its a flat 3 wire cord, the 2 outside wires are your hot phase wires and go to L1 and L2 on the terminal block,polarity is not an issue soeither wire on either terminal,then the center one goes to the terminal marked N or neutral

Maytag washer model LAT9306AAE won't come on - replaced blown fuse in machine & it blew again right away.

Fuses are there to protect from overheating and further damage to the appliance and/or wiring. A blown fuse is seldom ever the root cause of a problem... It is a symptom of a short or overload somewhere else in the circuit.

Check wiring to be sure there are no bare wires showing or shorting out against each other or the frame of the machine. Check that drive and pump motors turn freely (with power cord unplugged).

Your problem is NOT the fuse alone. Replacing it without correcting the root cause will result in yet another blown fuse.

2001 Galant, my son was getting the IPOD cord from back of Alpine radio and the ground wire cam off and apparently touched something and blew some fuses. The radio, electric locks and dome lights don't...

check both, and the wire had to be a hot wire not a ground,a ground wire cant do anything unless you touch it to apower source, anyway check both boxes notelling what other fuses blew, better save than soory. good luck.

Dryer won't turn on.....

Its possible that you blew out the thermal fuse on most dryers it is located on the blower wheel housing. You can test the part with an ohm meter, if has continuity its good if not it's bad.

Fuse blew replaced it and dryer won't work.

did you replace both fuses? there are 2 thirty amp fuses both are needed . if you can check voltage to the outlet that will eliminate an electrical problem and narrow it down to the dryer. If you have voltage to the dryer outlet, then I would look at the connections at the terminal block(where the cord connects to the dryer) then a meter would be needed to do much more testing.
