    • Locate the thermal fuse.

    • Test the thermal fuse for continuity using the multimeter.

    • Make sure the multimeter is set to 200 ACV and bring the probes toward thermal fuse.

    • The circuit is closed and properly functioning if the multimeter displays varying numbers.

    • The circuit is open if the multimeter displays non-varying numbers or no numbers at all.

    It looks like bimetal hair dryer thermostat instead of thermal fuse.

Does anybody know what is the small silver cylinder next to the thermal fuse? It is inline with the neutral AC from the handle switch, looks like it could be a diode or possibly a resistor, though it really resembles nothing I have seen before. My inoperable unit shows no continuity through this device either direction, so I presume it is bad….but I have no idea what to replace it with!
