Smoke resistor on 6-14596 always hot

Hi I had the same problem on mine took it to a it would just run hot if you dont shot it off it will burn the only way to turn it off was the on off switch the heat resistor is shorted causing the extream heat and you cant regulate it I just replaced the entire board shown but if your skilled you can replace the heat resistor I'm pointing at 

Actually, you're point to the correct part, but it's a triac, not a resistor.   Specifically, it's the 2N6075BG.

Thanks John for helping out 

  Simplified, a triac is like a transistor, an electronic switch/relay.  A triac is an AC version.  

Figuring that placement out alone shows an aptitude for logical thought though. You should explore deeper into electronics more often imo. E.g., what sends the signal to activate the triac?  (might be a proprietary or unmarked, but that is the next step for e.g..)

I would look for a failed smoke unit regulator.

I just repaired on that had previously had all boards replaced but same symptom.  The heating element had a path to ground with element touching housing on a metal smoke house.  Must ensure Smoke element not shorted to ground.  G
