Always first unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and then ohm test the thermal fuse, then disconnect the flame sensor and ohm test that, its located on the side of the burner tube. Remember no continuity going through it means it bad. Also, clean all the lent out of the dryer this should be done on a regular basis. I attached a website that has videos that will help you find the parts. I Hope this helps Tim
Sounds like you need to replace the timer one the dryer not the element but to make sure I would do a little trouble shooting to rule out the element or heating coil turn on dryer cycle like normal for about 30 seconds then open the door to feel for heat if you do feel heat its your cycle/timer knob if you don't feel heat then it's the coil or element witch are the same also first always check your lint trap and ducts going outside the dryer make sure you have proper airflow through ducts vents. clogged vents ducts ect. Cause over heating of element coil causing a safety fuse to shut down heating coil/element but will not stop cycle also moisture censors detect moisture causing cycle to continue on hope this helps.
The solenoid coils on the dryer are acting up. This is a common problem. They work a little then heat up and short out. Easy fix I did some videos: How it works Replacement
HI. This will occur when the there are issues that concern the integrity of the timer motor. This mechanism is responsible for the rotation of the timer module.It is damaged at this time, and it must be replaced asap.
A damaged timer motor will affect the nature of the drying cycle. It is the main initiator of all functions during the selected cycle.
Change your cycling thermostat. When your cycling thermostat fails, then the reponsibility of your heating element to shut down goes to the high-limit thermal shut off (closest to heat element) and the thermal fuse. Your cycling thermostat should shut down heat element when it detects about 140* air in the blower housing. Yours can't detect that anymore so it lets your dryer heat up and up till you blow the thermal. new cycling thermostat and thermal
