My Estate electric dryer stopped making heat this morning. I've reviewed your forums and checked what I could but I have a couple questions.

Thermal Fuse reads 0.4 ohms with meter set at 200 ohms.

Heating Coil reads 10.2 ohms and no resistance when grounding each terminal to case.

Internal Bias thermostat (cycling thermostat) reads 0.2 ohms on outside terminal (heavier red wires) and 7230 ohms (7.23 at 20k ohms) on inner terminals (purple and white wires).

Thermal Cut-Off produces no reading (open?).

High Limit Thermostat fell apart when removing connectors. Connector on one side is scorched and insulation missing on first inch of wire. Next inch of insulation is scorched.

Obviously the High Limit Thermostat needs to be replaced. I'm uncertain about the Thermal Cut-Off but assume it should be replaced too.

I think I can reroute the scorched wire and remove the damaged portion.

Can you suggest other reasons the wire is scorched? Anything else I should check?
