Hi Newberry,

The first thing to check is a grounded element. If the element is grounded the heater can heat even if the dryer isn’t “calling” for heat. To check this disconnect the dryer and disconnect the wires going to the element. Then check for continuity from one of the heater terminal to ground (anything metal on the dryer). Of there is any continuity, replace the heater.

If this isn’t the problem give me the model number to the dryer.

Thank you,
