Thermal fuses are the usual cause on no dryer heat. Parts cheap in Amazon.


Will the dryer still turn on? This is a Maytag Bravos XL. Google results have been inconclusive on whether the dryer will turn on or not if the thermal fuse blew.

Most dryers will still run with thermal fuse blown. Thermal fuse just stops the heating element from running amuck. For most dryers, everything should work the same except for no heat.

Most appliance parts houses will have them in plenty if you can't wait for delivery and they are usually pretty simple to change. I will caution though that sometimes, there is a reason it blew that will cause them to keep blowing.
