My dryer stopped heating but still powers, here is the what I have checked so far and I am looking for the next possible cause for the issue;
1. I made sure the circuit breaker is not tripped
2. I made sure dryer gets 220 volts at the wall socket
3. Unplugged the dryer and checked the main terminal block for damage
4. I checked the thermal fuse for continuity with an ohmmeter
5. I checked the heating element for continuity
6. I checked thermal cut-off for continuity

So far everything checks out and I am not sure what to do next. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. TY

I went back and found the one I missed, I don't have continuity
on the Thermal cut-off Thermal cut-off for dryer heating element 309 degrees (includes high-limit thermostat), I will run to the local appliance repair store in the morning for a replacement.

Thanks for the help!
