Frigidaire Dryer Panel Gets Very Hot!?

I recently obtained a frigidaire dryer Crown Series that came with a 3 prong plug, & my outlet is 4 prong & I attached a 4 prong plug myself. I put red to L1, Neutral & ground on the center, & black on L2. The green ground that is attached to the dryer, stayed connected to the dryer case. I got this confiuration by researching the internet, & also - that is how the man had set up my old dryer as well. Now I am notcing that the Control Panel is getting very hot. The terminal block is located behind & directly below the dial/ timer.This top right hand part of the contral panel & casing, gets very hot to the touch, & does so after maybe only 5 minutes of drying time. It gets so hot that it is uncomfortable to the touch. I took the cover off of the terminal block & tightened the screws because when I was attaching the 4 prong plug, I remember having difficulty with screwing L2 (black). The timer seems to advance too quickly as well. Any ideas?

The way you have it wired is correct. I would re-check the black wire just because you said you had trouble with it and make sure it's tight. But I really don't think that's going to be the issue here. If it were me, I'd call for service, and trust me, I never call for service. But in this case, it's just too dangerous to try to figure out what's wrong without an amp probe and someone that knows how to use it.
