I have a MDE 8000 AYW Dryer that keeps triping one of the circuit breakers. After each load I have to reset the breaker. Is the heating element going out?

It may be the breaker. Change it out and see if the problem continues. You need to eliminate the breaker as a problem before we can troubleshoot the dryer, as the breaker fail regularly.
