Mike you could have a couple of problems. It should not heat on Fluff, and did you check the vent to the outside to make sure it is clear? If it is it could be your operating thermostat. If you need me you can reach me at my website at ApplianceEducator.com Tom

I would check the heater element
Sounds like it has warped and is touching the frame. May only happen when the heater is warm/hot or when dryer is vibrating. Or doing something else weird
Only applies if this is electric, you did not include Model Number so I cannot tell: gas/electric?

Normally your Heat Selector Switch disconnects the heater from power on Air Fluff.
Could be a problem here but this would not explain the blowing of the breaker.
