I just replaced the heating element and dryer still not heating...Could it be one or both of the thermostats? I have a multimeter, but don't know what the numbers should be when testing.

A model number may help others help you. Find your model number - AppliancePartsPros.comOn older units it could be a number of things: Thermal cut-off Hi-limit thermostat Cycling thermostat Timer contacts Motors heater centrifugal switch Heating element which you have already replaced. Note that it is not unheard of to receive a bad replacement part. But first I would check the power. The motor and drum light work off of half the line (120 volts) but the heater requires both sides of the line (240 volts). Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. If this does nothing, check the voltage at the plug L1 to L2 should be 240 volts L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts. If OK Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip.
