Here are your parts
Parts for Whirlpool WED5800SG0 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the wiring diagram.

Could be that you have a grounded element.
Unplug the unit and both wires from the heater element.
Measure the element, should be around 8 to 12 ohms.
Then measure from each element connector to the case, both should be infinite ohms.
If not the element is grounded and should be replaced.
