Double check its installation, the element itself and all wires. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for FRIGIDAIRE DESFL1 Frg(v6) / 27 " Electric Dryer \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

You can try to contact Frigidaire. Make sure the heating coils do not touch the body. Disconnect the wires from the heating element and check for continuity between each of terminals and the ground.
