On base board heater how do you know when its off
Depending on what you are trying to achieve.

A) Normal operation, and unit shuts off due to reaching its setpoint. On some heaters there is an indicator light that turns on when the thermostatic switch turns the element on.
B) Maintenance mode, to shut off power before servicing. Turn off circuit breaker or fuse at house fuse panel or Breaker box. Check with an electric meter(Volt Meter) that the elements are not live. (Should be 0 volts across mains).

Whirlpool dryer overheats element high heat all heat settings
First check the heating element for short to frame. If it is not shorted remove the filter chute and clear it out. The control thermostat has 4 wires. 2 small wires come from the timer and power up a small heater inside the control thermostat making it shut down faster for perm press and knit cycles. Over time this bimetal inside the control stat won't shut down fast enough or not at all. If it won't shut down then the element will gl;ow reed and the base 250 stat on the heater chamber will shut down. If it fails to do so then the smaller one up top will trip at 300f. If it fails to trip or the filter chute is clogged the fuse skinny white plastic thing next to the control tstat will met and shut down operation.
Here is my HOME MOVIE ROPER DRYER NO HEAT
It shows the various components and how to check.

In my experience, you would be well advised to fit a genuine element, I have fitted several copy elements, and they were only lasting 6 months.
It is worth the extra cost.
I would concur with you that it will be the element that is causing the trouble, as the insulation resistance is breaking down as it gets hotter.
Good luck.

Intermittent tripping of circuit as oven just reaches temp
Sounds like the oven element is cracked and absorbing moisture when the oven cools down thus causing it to trip. Should buy a new element. there are hundreds of suppliers on the internet.

Oven keeps tripping the electrics
I would suspect that the fan oven element is faulty. what I think is happening , is as the element gets hotter, the insulation is breaking down and causing the trip to operate, it is quite a common problem
You will need to fit a new element.
If it is a fan assisisted oven you will find the element behind a removable cover at the rear of the oven compartment..
Plz rate my solution.
Thankyou.

AEG U7101-4 Top Oven tripping the fuse after a few minutes
It is more than likely the oven element, as it gets
hotter the insulation in the element is breaking down and causing the trip to operate..
Remove the panel at the rear of the oven and you will see the element there, undo the screws and pull the element towards you, carefully, detach the 2 wires and remove the element.
Be careful not to lose the 2 wires behind the oven rear.
Replace with new element.

Wells f49 fryer temperature problem
This is the cause of a faulty thermostat. You may also want to consider replacing the high limit as well if it has tripped more than a few times.

Heating elements do not heat
it sounds as if you have a tripped thermal cut out. This is accessed by removing the 5 or so screws on the black grate below the control panel and pulling the grate out. Somewhere in the middle towrds the front should be a little button wiht 2 wires hooked to it. make sure you have the power off to the oven, then reach in with a screwdriver or your hand if you can and push the little red buttton down untill it clicks. The cause for this to trip could be bent door hinges not allowing the door to close fully (common thermadore problem), bad door gasket especially in combination with running a self clean cycle, broiling with the door ajar, or a bad cooling fan (the one behind the electronics, not the one in the oven) Hope this helps.
