Well darn, cause that's what I was going to suggest you do.
Have you gone through the troubleshooting techniques in the manual??

SO IM HOPING ITS THAT. I THING THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A READING FROM WHAT THE MANUAL SAYS.. DO YOU KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE OR NOT.

If you are measuring resistance (ohms) you should get between 7 and 12 ohms reading on your meter. Make sure you have the meter set on the right scale, and if you are not getting that reading, you probably have a break in your element.
Replacing it should fix things nicely.

I changed the heating element and all was well. Now the belt snapped
, and the electric motor does not even turn on any more. Is there a senser some where so if the belt breaks the motor shuts down. I tried to check the manual you kindly sent me
, but it will not load any more. Can you resend it please..

Your machine has a broken belt switch which does not allow the machine to operate if the belt is, well, broken. I clicked on the link and got the service manual, but here it is again if you are still having problems. https://secured.whirlpoo...64beaa/$FILE/Duetdry.pdf
