It does sound like a thermostat. The difference in the 2 would normally be that one is self resetting, and the other is non resetable. I would suggest replacing them as a pair, as every time a overheat stat operates, the operational temperature changes within it. Also, be prepared for the element to go down shortly, as overheating puts stress on the fins

Now that there is a good one. Everything you are saying leads to a control board failure. Did you replace the board yourself, or have someone else do it? I have before gotten a new control board of the shelf, and it be as bad as the one I was replacing. Just a thought. Let me look around and see if I can find some other information, just really sounds like a bad part.

Your motor is very likely overheating and needs replacement. A simple test is the motor will be so hot you cannot even touch it. Hope this helps!
