Heating element won't cycle on/off, stays on (until high heat thermal "fuse" trips if left on long enough).
Heating element was recently replaced due to cracked blackened board (along with thermal fuses/thermistors/cycling thermostat etc which all tested fine otherwise (continuity), old and new) .
Cleaned all air ducts/vents & inside dryer (17 years of buildup) the first time the thermal fuse tripped, didnt impact outcome and noticed the element wasnt cycling.
Other Info:
1) Using timed drying only, as several years ago sensor drying stopped working (no heat).
2) EOC buzzer also doesnt go off, timed or sensor.
3) Temperature control switch makes no difference (high heat with no cycling), aside from Air only (correctly doesnt heat).
