[COLOR="Blue"]if i have continuity at heater and switch do i have a bad control board? [/COLOR]
Not necessarily.
You will see in the tech sheet that one of the door switches is in line with the heater so you also have to check it.

[COLOR="Blue"]if so is there any way to check to see if it bad?[/COLOR]
If all 3 components (heater, hi-limit and door switch) check OK, then measure from W (NO side if door switch or line cord in white) to the board side of the hi-limit when it should be heating. If you do not see 120 volts the board is probably toast.

Yes as long as the unit was in a heating mode you measured it correctly.

Only other thing I can think of to check would be the thermistor resistance.
If it is OK then it sounds to me like your control board is toast.

i put in high temp scrub and energy saver dry. no reading. in these modes i asume the white wire is the neutral and the white red wire from high limit should energise board connection so i should be able to get 120 from the board connection to neutral. am i doing the heat right. also where can i find thermister resistance located.

Resistance specs are given on the tech sheet
