My dryer runs, but has no heat. The breakers weren't tripped, but I reset them. There is 240V across the main power wires. Both the high and low limit thermostats have 120V at each wire and 0 ohms across the terminals for each thermostat. The heating element doesn't appear to be physically damaged. I'm out of guesses.

Any suggestions from anyone?

I am assuming that tis was checked at the terminal strip in the unit.

I am not sure what you are calling the low limit?

It is best to actually measure the heating coil.

Unplug the unit and set it to mid-cycle heated timed dry then attach one meter lead to L1 and leave it there. Then work your way back through the heater circuit. Everything should be 0 ohms till you get to the heating coil then one side of the coil will be 0 ohms and the other 8 to 12 ohms.

If all OK then you know that either you have a bad wire or a problem with the motor's centrifugal switch.

Sorry, not 'low limit' but thermal cut off and high limit both have 120 V and 0 ohms. Also, I'm not sure which wire in the standard 3-wire grey cable is L1 or the black one? Someone also mentioned to me about a heater switch on the motor. Could this be the centrifugal switch? Or possibly a problem w/ the timer? I checked the cycling thermostat and is 0 ohms across the larger terminals and about 8 across the smaller terminals. Is that good?

Just measure them back from the terminal strip.

Yes, one of them is for the heater.

Or possibly a problem w/ the timer?
Yes, Timer Switch 2 on the wiring diagram.

Yes
