Element does not turn off.
posted by undecided1 on Jul 01, 2008
During any dryer cycle the element will turn on and remain on. It no longer switches on and off to manage the temperature. If the controls are set to anything with heat, the element will turn on without hitting start. I assume that it must be a thermostat or switch problem however I am told there are two thermostats.

Guru- actually is sounds like the centrifugal switch in the motor is bad.
- the element should not turn on unless the motor is running.
- the thermostats are in place to pick up the heat of the airflow, not necessarily the heat directly coming from the element.
