The drier works but I think it is overheating the clothes.   The clothes are REALLY hot to touch before the cooling cycle even on medium to low temp settingS

Is there spomething I should test?

 

Temperature slider? limit switches? thermostat?

A shorted element can cause the element to stay on all the time. Common occurrence. I have seen them stay on even when the machine is not running. You would need to get to the element and check ohm's

Very true on this one ,   Also make sure the vent going to the outside is clear.  If you can get a thermometer, check the temp of the air coming out of the dryer without clothes in it .  Any temp over 180 is not good on this dryer.
