First I check the continuity of the thermal fuse found it to be good. Then I checked the continuity of the high temp fuse and found out to be good. Then I checked the continuity of the heating element and it was bad. Then I physically looked at the heating element and found it to be in pieces. I looked to order a new heating element and found there were 2 of them to choose from a 208 volt and the 220 volt.I read that the 220 Volt was for the United States an ordered it. in replacing it it seemed like it was at least 6 inches too short but after working it around slowly I got it to fit. it was the problem and it works fine.
