I have not checked for continuity yet, but there is a nice brown mark on the connector for the dryer element. If the continuity is bad, would it even be safe to put in a new element? I just bought the house and do not know how old the dishwasher is

Just checked continuity - and it seems like the plug is bad. If I wiggle the connector, the circuit opens and closes. Do I need a new element, or can I buy a new plug connector?

OK, the connector seems to be the thermostat - can I out in a new one with a browned connector - and should the heating elelment be replaced at the same time??

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for FRIGIDAIRE FDB2410LDC1 Frigidaire/dishwasher | AppliancePartsPros.com

Here is the wiring diagram

When you say it is a thermostat are you talking about the hi-limit Item 29 in Section 3.

If it is blown (open) it will have to be replaced.
Note That it may have blown due to a problem with the control board or the temperature sensing thermistor.

Also the part description says it is resettable, often this means that there is a pin that pops out between the thermostats connectors and pushing it back in resets the thermostat. I could not tell if this was the case by looking at the picture of the part.
