I used to think a multimeter was enough for every dryer issue

Had a Kenmore dryer last month that kept tripping the thermal fuse, but all the usual parts checked out. On a whim, I used a clamp meter to check the current draw on the heating circuit while it ran, and found a brief, intermittent spike the multimeter missed. Ever run into something like that where a different tool gave you the real answer?

Honestly, that spike could just be a random glitch or some minor update.
