Check the thermistor resistance. If OK then all that is left in the heater circuit is the heater relay on the board or the centrifugal switch on the motor. You could check across the black to blue wires (heater relay contacts) at the control board. With the unit plugged in and at rest you should see 0 volts. Start a heating cycle, if you get 240 volts then you know that the relay contacts are not closing. This could be the relay itself or the electronics that control the relay. [COLOR="Red"] If you decide to try this test be very careful because you are messing with 240 volts which is lethal.[/COLOR] If you do not get 240 volts then odds are that the centrifugal switch on the motor is not closing or is bad.

I reset the code and put in my old one (I ordered a new thermostat, thermal cut off and thermistor because my thermostat went out. I replaced all three at the same time)back in and everything works.
