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?

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