What causes the thermal fuse to blow?

I had replaced the thermal fuse on a Whirlpool electric dryer model 66822694 a few weeks ago. It has blown again. My wife also complained that the dryer top seemed very hot at times. What would be the next step in trouble shooting?

A thermal fuse will only blow if something has got too hot. Your next step would be to check the area where the fuse is connected too. For example, if the fuse is places inside or near the heater element and there is no air flow through the heater this will cause the heater to get too hot and cause the fuse to blow. Check that there is no damage to the area the fuse is connected to and test if needed.
