Whirlpool electric dryer heating element stays on and will not turn off until it is unplugged. Doesn't seem to matter what setting or if it is ON or OFF element just stays on. Forgot to mention the drum does not turn jbut the element stays on even if you open the door. Any ideas please help... Thanks in advance

The element is shorted to groung. Pull the element and check it. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com
