Thanks guys, - yea, clothes dryer. A Whirlpoo Gaser. Yea, not that old, no element that I know of.
So everything seemed to work, the igniter wouldn't kick in and flame up. Tested w/multi-meter, the igniter is fine.
Tested the gas valve coils. Gas valve coils are fine.
Tested the Flame sensor, -it's fine.
High Limit Thermostat is fine.
Operating Thermostat is fine.
Timers Good.
Tested the Thermo Fuse, - BINGO! Fuse reads Infinity, -should read "0" Ohms.

Called Joe Appliance and they want $10 for a fuse and said that I had to change the operating thermostat as well, - said that's another $20.
I said I check the thermostat it's fine. He ask me how I did that ? I said you don't know ? Silence.... - I said no sale, click.
Sooo, lol. Went out in the garage and found a fusible link w/proper amperage fuse. Wired it up as a plug in.
She works fine.

Why did it blow in the first place ? Yea, there was a lot of lint in the pipe. Wasn't plugged, but must have been enough to heat things up a bit.
Alright, I gotta get out of these wet clothes

Have to resort to the keyboard. Come on over, I have at least 25 of them in an old dresser in the basement. You can have 5 or so, -cordless as well. I no longer use a mouse.
