Hi. First of all make sure that dryer is getting 240VAC. Flip the breakers off and on.You must have 240V for the heater. Run the continuity test at the thermal cut-off and the hi-limit thermostat( Located on the side of the heater box). If one of them is open-replace the kit. The kit Part number: 279973
Locate the main control board (in the control panel). Locate the heater relay (with black and red wires). Unplug the dryer, bypass this two wires , turn the dryer on normal. If the dryer heats up - replace the machine control board. Control board Part number: W10111620
