Default It's definitely the correct model # and...

The parts inside the dryer are Whirlpool. The retailer's website does list this model.

Test the element, thermal cutoffs and thermostat fix for continuity, without wire leads on. That will tell you which part(s) are bad.

Default You are correct! Plus 1 more brief question

Nat, I appreciate your advice to check components with all wires disconnected, but that was how I checked them. I realize that some may not know to do it that way.
Iamigor, you are absolutely right!
I checked the heater relay and, sure enough, it was open between all 4 terminals.
Would it do any damage to any other components, if I swapped the heater relay with the motor relay (same parts) and held the on switch in, so loads of clothes can be dried, until a new part is obtained?

Thanks again. Your excellent advice is greatly appreciated.
