You didn't post your model number. Some newer models have a thermistor located on the blower housing, just to the right of the thermal fuse. You cna check it for its resistance, according to the information given in the tech sheet. the trch sheet is usually placed in the console.The components in the heat circuit, then, are timer,thermal fuse, thermistor (when present), cycling thermostat, High limit thermostat, and heating element. All these components are wired in series.

See #5 in original e-mail . . . the element had good continuity. Any other ideas? Thanks for your reply. I'm really puzzled, but then I'm no expert. :-)

Did you check the element for continuity?

My electric dryer is not heating up, and thus the clothes never dry. I have done the following thus far:
1) Checked filter and vent - clear
2) Checked power at power supply - read 240V
3) Checked continuity at the cycle and safety thermostats - good continuity
4) Checked continuity at thermal fuse - good continuity
5) Checked continuity at heating element - good continuity
6) Checked for a grounded element - no continuity between the element ends and the element cage (no needle movement)
What else could be the problem?
