Alright, so I checked the motor relay for continuity and found out that the switch was open, but there was no explanation for the motor to stay running. So I returned the board for another one and guess what....
I still have the exact same problem: The motor runs by itself.
So I checked the contacts on the motor relay on the new board and the relay tested fine. So I checked the wires leading to the relay and got a reading very close to zero(0.05 with the meter set at 20k.) This makes me think that there's something else wrong with the wiring in the dryer. I checked the wiring diagram and I'm just not quite sure what it is. FYI, the door switch still kills the motor.
Any ideas?

I cannot say but I do not think that you can mis-wire it. I did some more testing and couldn't find anything wrong. So I went back the main board and then reversed the wires on the motor relay and now everything appears to be working fine. Apparently you can mis-wire it. I was going by the word "COM" pressed into the plastic by one of the contacts on the relay. I thought that's where the black wire should have gone. It turns out that the relay had a paper label for which wire went where: "L1/Blk | Mtr/Gry" The abbreviations must have slipped my mind the first time.
