Samsung Dryer DV42H5200EW keeps blowing thermal cut off fuse (thermostat)

[Shoei]

Hi,
I also have the DV42H5200EW and literally have replaced the fuses 3 times in January. The last fuse lasted 4 cycles and blew. I cleaned vents with vent brush and there are no blockages. Recently replaced the old element with a new one as the old one shorted. This dryer has sucked for this reason. My guess is something is wrong with the circuit board as there is no other reason for it to be constantly over heating.

Hi,

Put the dryer on the AIR FLUFF/NO HEAT cycle and let it run without clothes in it and see if it gets HOT inside the drum.
