Dryer runs too hot regardless of setting. Dryer was disassembled and cleaned out completely although the vent was not blocked to begin with (first thing checked). Replaced the following parts with new ones even though they all checked out fine with ohm meter:

Thermal Fuse: 3392519
Thermistor: 8577274
High Limit Thermostat: 3403140

I also checked the Radiant Sensor (338906) thinking it might not be allowing the flame to kick off or something and it checked out fine on the ohm meter. This part was not replaced.

Dryer still runs hot. Any suggestions on what to check next? Thank you very much!

Disconnect the vent hose from the dryer and run a load. Post the results.
