Of this I am sure: It is not a burned out heating element. Here is why:
Heating element is protected by a circuit breaker, either 14 or 20 amps, it is not protected by a fuse and if it were 7.5 amps is no where near big enough since the element should draw 10-11 amps in normal operation.
Control board or short in and around it. OR short in leads to switch. Depending on where that 7.5 is.
