Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Does Winston not have a suggestion for a "back-up" tech?
I have one of these dryers, had the same issue. Here is what solved it for me:Take out the flame rod, make sure it isn't too long. I had a sheet metal screw inside of mine and it was shorting out! Blew the fuse for a month straight.The wire going from the flame rod to the ignition transformer, make sure that is not corroded or shorting out. That was my MAIN issues for about two years. I replaced that with the appropriate wire and knock on wood. if you need help, I hate like hell to blow his phone up- but Tony @ CGS in Jersey, they rebuild these things too. Helped me out a TON with problem solving.
Probably not going to be of much help. But maybe my questions will narrow it down a little. When does the fuse blow? When you turn the dryer breaker on, fan switch on, or burner purge button, or when the burner tries to fire?Where do the two wires that you think are the culprit go? To a sensor/switch, a motor, etc?

To a sensor/switch, a motor, etc?good questions.it's been a month+ since I've actually faced the thing - it powers up. with the transformer wire is disconnected, if you push the push to start burner, it goes through the process of trying to light once. purge/timers/both solenoids click over/proper lights at proper time... (obviously it didn't light, the transformer is disconnected). the SECOND time you ask it to do this (even if you've totally disconnected the power at the breaker etc) the fuse in the panel (lower left) blows as soon as you hit the button again.this is why winston thought the next step should be just swapping out the whole protectofier board (we already swapped/checked the relays on the board) itself.wires i think are swapped:2 black wires from the gas train side.Black 40 - goes only to "tall T" box between solenoids on gas train side. Goes to the burner switch on the control panel side.Black 1 - split on gas train side: 1 goes to box next to transformer 2 goes to actuator box. on the control panel side it goes 3 places: blower switch, L1 spot on Protectofier, DC control board.
for anybody else reading, we are running a 60" belt that can cure 1,400 shirts in an hour. 40 hours per week is costing us $86/month in gas! pierre
