Nordyne Intertherm E1EH-015H

Have you had any bad electrical *
You wrote, " Specifically, it will run at any temperature that the thermostat displays, and it will heat up the coils inside, and once the coils are an orange hot color." Turn off the power to the furnace. At the furnace control board find where the thermostat wires connect. Now disconnect the wire connected to the W terminal. Turn the furnace back on with the thermostat NOT calling for heat (thermostat set to below room temperature). If it still behaves as before (furnace runs and shuts off), you need a new control board. If the furnace does not start heating, then you have either a bad thermostat or a problem in the thermostat wiring between the thermostat and furnace.

I am not farmiliar with this particular electric furnace but from what you're saying (assuming the stat was replaced properly - wired) it sounds like the contactors are fused together keeping the heat on all the time; this is why its on even after replacing the stat. "kicking off" after getting to a cherry hot state maybe a Hi-Limit safety switch which kills all power to the unit but automatically resets once cooled and the process begins again.
