I bet the first thing you think of when your dryer is not heated is your heating element.

Is there continuity in your terminal?
Or did you actually take out the element and see a bad point in the element?

How to Check bad heating elements and component parts.
Keep the dryer unplugged, grab your Ohm/volt meter and keep continuity.
Ground a lead to the heating element box and a bare heating element terminal.
If you have continuity then you may have a short circuit element.
Pull the element and check.
Still keep the dryer unplugged and check the continuity of one bare element terminal and the other side of the heating element.
Now, that doesn't mean anything at times, but elements can be good or bad if you have continuity.
So it would be better to take it out and evaluate it, or try another option.
Now plug the dryer back in and turn it on, but make sure all the removed wires are replaced and reconnected.
Put the Ohm/volt meter on a voltage of 220v or higher, if your HDD is worse than the dryer heating element, check the two heating element terminals if there is no reference to the thermal safety fuse.
