Electric Dryer will not stop heating?

PLEASE HELP.

MY DRYER IS WORKING, BUT IT IS HEATING NON STOP?

This can be very dangerous and dryers are one of the leading causes of residential fires in the US. While they have many safety controls built into them, the heating element in electric clothes dryers can fail in a way that is extremely dangerous and bypasses all of the safety controls built into the clothes dryer.

OK.HOW THE HEATING ELEMENT LOOKS?

OK,DOES MY DRYER HAS HEATING ELEMENT?

Electric clothes dryers use an electric heating element to produce heat to dry the clothing. This heating element is usually a metal spring type element that gets hot when electricity is passed through it. After the metal heats and cools enough times the metal can expand and sag. The metal may break and fall onto the metal parts of the dryer. The insulators that hold the metal spring may also become dislodged, move, or break, allowing the spring to touch the metal parts of the dryer. When the heating element touches the metal part of a dryer, it can cause the element to short out to the metal and start to produce heat because of the current flow through the heating element . Because this bypasses all of the dryer safety controls the heat continue to be produced as long as there is power going to the electric dryer.

ANY OTHER THING TO BE CHECKED ?

If you notice that your electric clothes dryer is continuing to make heat when it is off, then disconnect all power to the dryer immediately. Before turning power back on, make sure to get the heating element replaced. It also will be a good idea to replace the thermal fuse also, because it may have burnt out from the excessive heat.

OK CAN YOU ALSO SHOW ME THE IMAGE OF THERMAL FUSE?
