dryer won’t get hot or shut off!!!

[ojones]

The other night I attempted to dry a load of laundry before bed time. I laid down while it dried and fell asleep with the finish alarm set. to my surprise I awoke the next morning to discover the dryer still running and the laundry still damp. Since that time I’ve discovered that the dryer won;t shut off nor will the dryer get hot. IO had the dryer’s heating element checked and discovered that it is still intact and has full continuity. Will you help solve my problem? arc-less in Ark-ansas!!!
