It could be that the heating coil is heating up and sagging, touching the case and blowing the breaker.
Check the inside of the case for any arcing signs.
Usually though when a unit does this it actually welds the heating element to the case.
Check to see if different heat settings actually change the output heat.
It could be that the heating element is welded to the case and pulling too many amps.
Could be that the circuit breaker has become weak and is tripping when the current is still OK.
Only way to really check this is with a clamp on amp probe so you can measure the actual current to the unit.
thank you for your help I will look in to the welding thing.
