This hi-limit thermostat acts as as safety mechanism that keeps the dryer from overheating. Once the dryer temperature reaches 250 degrees Farenheit, this piece will shut down power to the heating element until it drops by 80 degrees Farenheit.
Meant as a backup to a high limit thermostat, this fuse is typically set to trip at a higher temperature than that of a high limit thermostat. This is a one time use fuse, so when it does trip, you do need to replace it. It's letting you know that something is wrong with your dryer.
This thermal fuse limiter, with a limit of 220 degrees Fahrenheit, is manufactured for both gas and electric clothes dryers. Once the internal temperature of the dryer reaches 220 degrees, the heating element cuts out.
