Kenmore 90 series dryers come in a few different models that each have a unique set of features. Each one has a thermal fuse that will need to be replaced if it is ever blown. A blown thermal fuse will prevent the dryer from heating. Replacing the fuse can correct a heating problem if a blown fuse is the source of the problem. Some heating problems are due to a faulty thermostat rather than a blown fuse.
