Workign on a frigidaire dryerthat is getting too hot and not cooling down. I found a faulty control board and replaced it corrected the problems for a few months, but now it is doing it again. The board wasn't cheap, is there something I am over looking I should be investigating? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!:confused:

No it is a basic dryer.Just dial and buttons. . The dryer in any cycle heats fine, but when it goes through the cool down in any cycle it just stays hot and continues until it shuts off. Clothes are hot. Would a bad heating element cause this? Thanks.

That's not right. It's shown at the diagrams that this dryer operates by the electronic control (#1 at the diagram).

Yes, it would if the heating element is shorted to the ground. You have to unplug the dryer, remove the wires from the heating element and check for continuity between each terminal and the ground.

Thank you, it is definitely the heating element that was the cause. Thanks for your help!
