I've checked the whole vent system and the blower , as well as the inside of the cabinet and have found no problem . Is there a temp thermostat or temp control which may have gone bad and needs replacing ? thanks

Yes there is a thermistor that can be checked, see the tech sheet. The first thing I would check for a grounded element. Unplug the unit and both wires from the element. Measure across the element, should be 8 to 12 ohms. Then measure from each side if the element to it's cas, both should be infinite ohms. If not the element is grounded and should be replaced.
