WAG they usually put some sort of over temperature protector near the
heating elements, in-line with their power connection. May look similar
to a resister and be clamped down, senses the heat where it is clamped.
Normally they open up (too hot, plugged/restricted exhaust, lint
build-up), but maybe it has shifted or shorted to the clamp area.

Shorted 'start' winding on drive motor?

There are many drive motors to choose from and Maytag is *very proud* of
all of them.

(I'm dubious about the fuse or thermostat as a possibility.
