Broke the light bulb in my dryer off in socket it threw sparks now my dryer won't work. Checked breaker that's not the problem. What could it be?

If the light bulb in your dryer broke off in the socket and caused sparks, it's possible that the electrical system in the dryer has been damaged. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1.Start by unplugging the dryer. 2. If there are any broken pieces of the light bulb still in the socket, use needle-nose pliers or another suitable tool to remove them. Be sure to do this with caution to avoid electrical shock. 3. Inspect the area around the light bulb socket for any burnt wires, connectors, or components. If you find any damaged parts, they may need to be replaced. 4. Dryers often have thermal fuses or thermal cut-offs that can blow if there's a surge or overheating. Check the dryer's user manual to locate these components and check if they are intact. If a fuse is blown, replace it with the same type and amperage. 5. Use a multimeter to check the voltage at the dryer outlet. Ensure that you are getting the correct voltage (typically 240 volts for a dryer in the United States). If the voltage is incorrect, there may be an issue with the electrical supply or the outlet itself. 6. If you have the skills and confidence, you may open the dryer cabinet and inspect the internal wiring. Look for any burnt or damaged wires and connections. If you find any, you may need to repair or replace the affected parts. 7. If you are not comfortable or experienced with electrical repairs, it's advisable to seek the help of a professional appliance repair technician. They can thoroughly diagnose the issue and perform any necessary repairs or replacements.

Magic Chef Dryer model MCSDRY35W. Where can I find the thermal fuse on it please?

This says it has two. One is always on the heater box, the other one is described as 'Air Exhaust Thermal Breaker', so would suggest just after the heater box and before the drum. https://www.washerpartsworld.com/brands/magic-chef/mcsdry35w It may also have one that looks like this. Test all the parts with a multimeter, don't blindly replace them.. https://www.partselect.com/PS11741460-Whirlpool-WP3392519-Dryer-Thermal-Fuse.htm?SourceCode=18 ..

The lint filter does not fit properly in the lint

We have the same model and experience the same thing. The way I fix it is to remove the filter, then with a flash light I look down into the lint trap. You will notice that lint has built up in the track where the lint filter sits. I use a wooden skewer to run along the track and lift out the lent. Hope that helps
