Hopefully an easy solution to this problem

I replaced the heating element 6 months ago and just recently it stopped heating again. I ordered up another thinking that the low budget version went (I probably should have tested it)

Not the case. Ordered up the thermistor, thermostat, and thermal fuse to have them on hand.

After testing all of the above and being able to match them against the ones in the machine, it turns out that the thermal fuse opposite the heating element had gone bad. Upon replacement, it lasted about another 8 minutes and burnt out.
I already ordered another one up.

I was told that it may be the board that is bad.Is there any way to test the board without frying another thermal fuse? Are there any other possibilities?

Ready to buy a board if need be.

Thanks

Tom
