I have a 5 year old Maytag Atlantis. The heating element stays on constantly if the motor is running no matter what setting the dryer is set to. So far, I have changed out the cyclic thermostat and timer. The problem still persists. I checked the temperature control switch that cycles between air fluff, delicate, medium and regular settings and all contacts and resistor look to be in great shape. I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The first thing I would do is remove the wires from the heating element terminals and check for continuity between the each terminal to ground.
