Dryer thermal fuse kept blowing, fixed it with a $9 part I almost skipped

Had a Samsung dryer that kept killing the thermal fuse every 3 weeks. Replaced it twice before I noticed the vent hose had a kink behind the unit. Straightened it out and added a metal elbow, been 2 months now without an issue. The third fuse was the one that taught me to check airflow before swapping parts. Anyone else find the cheap fix hiding in the vent line instead of the board?

Been there, dude. Vent kinks are the worst.
