Looking for help troubleshooting a clothes dryer. It started flipping the 30A circuit breaker at the box randomly a few
minutes into a cycle. It will also flip the breaker at the box anytime that I rotate the dial into the OFF position in between any of the cycles. I am assuming this probably means the circuit board in the dryer is the issue? It's an older Whirpool, 24 years old. I replaced the heating element and still had issues. I tested the high limit thermostat, and operating thermostat with my multimeter and those appear to be ok. So I'm wondering if it's just old and not an easy fix and I should just replace it.
