The dryer is fixed. It turns out it was the thermal fuse afterall. This is good news since we are really behind on laundry and now we can get caught up. :)

I suppose I should have tried replacing the fuse first since that was the easier part to replace. But I really thought it tested fine. Apparently I wasn’t testing it properly though, because they tested it for me at the parts shop and it was bad. I figured out what I was doing wrong in the testing, but hopefully I won’t have to worry about that for a while. I guess since I had the dryer apart to get at the ignitor I should have brought both parts in for them to test. Oh well. The important part is that the dryer is working and even with buying two parts and the time I spent replacing the parts it was still cheaper (and probably quicker) than paying someone to come out and fix it.
