Hotpoint DLB3400SBLWH, s/n TL241558H, not sure age of dryer.
Electric dryer will not heat. Checked 5 therostats for continuity, checked heat coil for continuity, all checked zero resistance.
Resistor & board # WE4X799 did not show continuity, replaced it, new resistor does not show continuity either, so I guess it's doing what it was supposed to do, resisting. Wasted $13 and now stumpted.
Any suggestions? Any secret tricks with this model?

The first thing I would do is verify 240 VAC to the dryer. While the motor needs only 120 VAC (one leg) to run, the heating element requires 240 VAC (two legs).

Did you ever figure out the issue because I'm in the same boat?
