You have two thermostats (t-stats) on your heater (access by flipping the top back. Heater is in center rear. One is on top of heater and one is on the side. The one on the side is likely shorted. To test remove both wires from small t-stat on side of heater and jump them together. If your dryer starts replace both t-stats (if you only do the side you will have same problem even though thte top t-stat will ohm out ok). This would be the place to start. Be careful and unplug whenever near wires.
