Here are your parts

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

I am assuming that the unit is totally dead (no lights at all).

No it is not.

It may have tripped the circuit breaker.
I would not reset this until you disconnect the heating element.
Be sure that you tape the connectors so they cannot short to each other or any thing else.

Could be it blew the thermal fuse (item 6 in section 2).
This you could check with a meter.
If this is blown it is important that you use the new wiring harness that comes with the fuse.

Could also be that it blew the control board.
Note that this may have even happened if the fuse blew.
