Dryer Element Shorted to Ground
Here is another dryer element that shorted out to ground. This means that whenever the dryer was on, even on the air fluff cycle, the element was going full blast. This took out the safety cut-out fuse.
From now on, unless I see really bad venting issues on blown safety cut-out fuse jobs, I’m checking the element to make sure it is not grounded.

As of late i been changing a number of elements on the sport dryers doing just that, in most cases venting was in poor condition. I have no other proven theory’s why the element is super heating causing the excess sagging then shorting and welding.
