Find your model number - AppliancePartsPros.com Could be that you have a grounded heating element. Unplug the unit and then both wires from the heating element. Measure the element, should be around 8 to 12 ohms. Then measure from each side of the elemet to the case, both should be infinite ohms. If not the element is grounded and should be replaced.
