I think it's something else. Hell I can't even find the element to test it. But we know it's working.

LSU smartass is correct. ANYTHING else and one of the three safeties would cut power when it gets too hot. (though the thermal fus should still trip if it gets above 155*, but i am not looking at a schematic of your model right now. Whenever I get a call for "runaway heating" I expect to change the element every time.
