My dryer was blowing fuses. I replaced the heating element and the dryer worked fine for 3 months. Dryer blows fuses again. Could something be causing my heating elements to go bad?

SKL, check the exhaust vent and vent hood, check and clean the lint filter duct and blower housing. Make sure the dryer isn't being overloaded. The excess heat and run/dry time can cause the element to overheat and warp or droop and short to the casing and cause a direct short to ground and trip the breaker.
