The only other time I blew one was a plugged vent.Kids overloading the dryer with too many wet clothes, restricted/dirty dryer duct, people piling junk on top of the dryer, stuff like that. Anything that makes it run hot.
This time....it was because the drum wasn't turning.
The drum on this dryer happens to have rollers in the back and plastic slides/wear strips in the front. One of them wore through and made the drum rub on the metal...stopping it's rotation. Fan is driven off same belt as drum. No rotation means no airflow. Got hot...opened fuse.
Corrected the issue with the drum with new wear strips and replaced fuse.
