Fuse probably goes before element. I've done this repair and its not hard

Parts readily available on Amazon. Check continuity of fuses first (requires a meter....borrow if you don't have or get one for $15 bucks). Some fuses can actually be "reset" by slamming them on the floor instead of replacing. Youtube has a zillion videos on how to do. Only a couple tools needed.
If fuse went there is a good chance that ventilation is not good allowing too much heat. Check your vents and filters.

Good luck....

No No.Heat buildup allowed the fuse to go as a safeguard. Then no heat -- DonHo-kieHi 12/09/2019 10:52AM

Right, but the implication was that a potentially clogged exhaust prevented -- Late 80s Hokie 12/09/2019 11:50AM
