Dryer still run but no heat. Check top and bottom heat element both OK. Replace the thermal fuse with a new one. Inspected the heating coil and it Ok. Reset breaker, started dryer up and still no heat.

Here are your parts, includes a wiring diagram
Model ADE7000AYW

If the heating element is OK then it will be one of the thermostats OR the heat selector switch OR the timer OR the centrifugal switch OR the power.
All the above except the centrifugal switch can be checked with a meter.

The thermal fuse would have shut down the motor on this unit.

I would suggest you purchase a meter. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
1. Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
2. Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
3. When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale's dynamic range.

There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it's use.
