There are two circuits in your dryer. One runs the motor, the other the heating element. Something in your heating element circuit is broken, and the most likely culprit is the element. To check it, unplug the dryer, take the back off, find the element, disconnect one of the two wires and put an ohmmeter across the two connections. If it reads infinity, change the element.
is the gas on? check the hot surface ignitor
Your heating element is going out and that is why the fuse blew as well. You will need to have the heating element replaced in order for the dryer to work like it did when you bought it.
A gas dryer that will not heat usually has one of two problems. Either the gas is turned off or the heating element is burned out.
Hair dryer. I had the same question,weird.

Electric Hair dryer
electric iron , electric toaster, electric water heater, electric geyser
Only by jury rigging it ... the normal insulation is designed to vent the heat outside. But it can be used as a form of electric heater.
who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from the stove
I don't know how it works but I know how it heats up: there are metal coils in the hair dryer that heat up, so hot it can toast, toast! Then, a fan turns on and blows warm air.
It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.
All that heat and movement has generated 'static electricity' and you are earthing it.
