Thermostat
Sometimes, an overheating problem can be traced back to a failed thermostat. A simple way to test the thermostat is to test it in a pan of hot water. If you know the temperature that your thermostat opens at, you can get a thermometer and watch for the element to react at the temperature it is supposed to. While this method is not 100% effective, it can give you an indication as to whether or not it is working correctly.
