I recently had to replace the belt in a GE Versatronic Dryer (Model 122002 - despite GE telling me this model does not exist).

Unfortunately, when taking the top off, a few wires from the pin block came off and I did my best to reconnect them rather blindly. As a result, the timer on the dryer knob didn't work. Not a big problem - on and off were fine.

After a few weeks, it is now no longer heating up. I assume it's a thermal fuse, although I guess I shouldn't rule out a wiring issue. I can't find any info on where a thermal fuse on this unit is, where I would find a part number, or replacement.

Any thoughts?

A unit of that age may not have a thermal fuse.

GE Dryer Not Heating

This dryer does not have a TF, it does have two heating elements and three thermostats and about a dozen feet of wiring in the 240 volt heating element circuit along with around 20 terminal connections in the heater circuit.

 

Since you just put a belt on it raise the top and make sure that all the wires on the junction block right under the top are connected properly and not burned loose etc. 

 

It is easy to accidentally pull on of the wires loose from this junction block when working on these dryers.
