Hi;

First post here. I have a Kenmore Elite Electric Dryer that has an overheating problem. It appears to run the heating element constantly, regardless of heat setting. I thought I had fixed it by replacing the thermostat and fuse that attach to the heating element plenum. It ran cool for awhile, but started getting hot again after about 6-8 uses. I also noticed that if you unplug the dryer and let it sit for awhile, the problem goes away for about 6-8 uses.

I did check for air blockage, and it moves plenty of air.

It seems to me something needs to fully discharge before it will function properly again. Either that, or some logic in the controls is corrupted and must be reset. Not really sure. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
