anymore suggestions?

I am not sure what is going on here.

0 ohms is a dead short so the circuit breaker would trip plus there would be a lot of sparks.

Did you use the most sensitive meter scale?

Also you did not tell me if and what mode/modes the timer advances.

Hi,
Any more suggestion?

I measured all these points and i have on every single one 0 ohms including both sides of heater.
i must say that this reading was in the Automatic cycle
thans

OK so using the wiring diagram the fault should be on the left side of the heater.

Unplug the unit.
Put your meter on it's most sensitive resistance scale.
Before starting short the meter leads together so you know if there is a zero offset in the meter.
Attach (tape or clip) one meter lead to L1 on the line cord.
Or since the timer does advance you could attach it to C on the timer re: the unit is getting 240 volts so the line cord is OK.
Now work your way back through the circuit.
C, B and A on the timer should be 0 ohms.
Both sides of the thermal cut off should be 0 ohms.
Both sides (heavier red wires) of the operating thermostat should be 0 ohms.
Both sides of the hi-limit thermostat should be 0 ohms.
One side of the heater should be 0 ohms.
The other side of the heater should be around 10 ohms

in auto mode when motor not running i do read 120 when referenced to neutral/ground

OK.
You are seeing the same side of the line either L1 or L2 at the heater.

Now when running in timed dry does the timer advance?

If Yes

If the timer is set in an auto dry mode do you see 120 volts when referenced to Neutral/ground when the motor is not turning?
