Dryer stopped heating. Relaced coil-heater; thermal limiter and thermostat-safety. Still no heat any suggestions as to what next?

With the power disconnected trace the thick red wire from the heater up to the timer. At the terminal where that red heater wire connects to the timer is where I suspect the problem is. Remove the wire and check it with a meter. Set the timer to a place where you know it was working before and check between this terminal and all the others on the timer. Somewhere along the way you should get a continuity reading. If you cannot get a reading then that timer is fried.

did you check with your meter, if you have on ,whether youare getting 240 volts coming to dryer. if so there should be a wiring diagram in control panel. that will show you the contacts that would be closed in timer ,you need to set your timer to continuity to do this test .unplug dryer first .set timer to minute cycle
