Not very common but your problem is coming from your timer. If everything is ohming out good than one of the contacts in your timer has gone bad. Have you had a power surge or anything do do with faulty electricity happen before your dryer quit heating?

Do you have the wiring diagram for the unit?
I cannot find one so the below is just guesses.
The cycling thermostat may have an internal heater probably the 1700 ohms you measure. This is turned on when you use a low heat cycle. It adds heat to the thermostat so that it cycles more often resulting in less heat from the main heater. The other two connectors (usually heavier red wires) should be the actual thermostat contacts.
On many units the heater circuit is. L1 Through a set on contacts in the timer. Then through a hi-limit thermostat, a thermal cutoff and the cycling thermostat. Then through the heater Then through a centrifugal switch on the motor. L2 |
