Check the timer for continuity between the BK and R terminals while the timer is in timed dry position.

Remove the wires from the heating element (one at a time) and measure the voltage between this wire and the ground while the dryer is on.

Looks like there is something wrong with the heating element. Check the resistance on each side of the heating element to the ground (both wires are unplugged). If the reading is not an infinite, replace the heating element.

No continuity (no change in meter, stays at a 1 at rest) when checking each side of element to ground, both sides of element unplugged, dryer plugged in to wall

What is the AC voltage scale on your meter?

Set it on 600 VAC. Disconnect any one wire from the heating element and measure the voltage between this wire and the terminal where it was connected, and between this wire and the other wire still connected to the heating element. Post the results.
