Fixed my dryer with a $12 part

[na.bro]

Just wanted to share because this literally saved me from buying a new dryer. My kenmore stopped heating completely, so I searched and asked, I got some guidance on what and what to check, turned out the thermal fuse was blown. I ordered one off amazon for $12, and it took maybe 20 minutes to replace. Its been running perfect for 3 weeks now, I'm really proud of myself. For anyone with the same issue, it's usually on the blower housing and please clean your lint trap and vent while you're in there, that's probably what caused mine to blow in the first place.
Overall was way easier than I thought it'd be, although youtube tutorials helped a lot

Hak! $12 beats a new dryer any day, nice work and that lint buildup thing is real and most people don't realize how much builds up in the vent itself, not just the trap. Man, you probably added years to that dryer's life just by cleaning it out

can you share which YT channels have good tutorials about this?

For YouTube tutorials, I usually check AppliancePartsPros, RepairClinic, and FixIt DIY. They have clear step-by-step guides and show exactly where the thermal fuse is and how to replace it safely.
