Replaced heating element and thermostat, checked continuity and there is still no heat! Breakers are good and so is thermal fuze.

Here are your parts
Parts for Whirlpool LER4634JQ0 Dryer - AppliancePartsPros.com

How do you know that the power is good?
Did you measure it with a meter?
If not you should. The motor runs off of 120 volts but the heater requires the full 240 volts.

Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
Check the voltage at the wall receptacle
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.

Did you check the thermal cutoff and the hi-limit thermostat on the heater case?
