Answer Robert, Based on your post information, you have more than one problem. No, a "bad" thermistor would not cause the dryer to"continue to run, dryer will stop when door is open" This is most likely due to a "stuck" motor relay on the control board. The resistance on the heater element should be 10 to 12 ohms, so the heater itself is OK. The control Thermistor is rated at 50K ohms resistance at room temp.(77 dgrs.F.) you want to reset your meter to a higher resistance range and recheck the thermistor resistance, If it remains at no resistance or an open circuit, the thermistor will need to be replaced. it would be the cause of the no heat situation, based on your information.
