Dryer stopped working.

This is a gas dryer, propane. My wife and I live in a remote area. So field mice are abundant. We keep a plug over our dryer vent in order to keep any inquisitive mice out. My wife forgot to remove the vent cover and the dryer stopped working after about minutes. We read about other dryers having this problem and apparently the fuse (non-resettable) tripped. I replaced the fuse and it works fine. Thank You Partsselect.
