My maytag dryer heating element gets hot even before I push in the dial, the door will be open and the element is glowing , also the motor will not turn on even with the door closed
maytag performa
model # PYE2300AYW
Sounds like you have something shorted out.
The element issue could be a contact fused shut.
With both problems I would be looking for wires melted together, or a relay/sequencer welded shut melted etc.
You do have a potential fire hazzard here. If after removing the panel you cannot locate the problem, do not run the unit.
