I should have thought of that, sometimes I must be wide asleep.

Jim's suggestion is a high probability, because if the heater was on full with no air movement it should blow the thermal fuse.

This could also be a shorted heating element ! If the element is grounded to the case and the timer is in the on position the element will stay hot when not running.

My electric dryer heating element continues to heat after the motor has stopped. It is my understanding that this is caused by a faulty centrifical switch which should open the electrical path to the element when the motor is idled. In viewing the electrical schematic I do not see an external switch, however, within the motor it appears two switches are present. The m1 and m2 terminals appear to be connected to the element. Is this a replaceable? Or must the motor be replaced?
