From Tech Sheet W16260667, p.39:

1.Check wiring to heater from control board, check for bad heater or open high limit thermostat.

2.Measure the heating element resistance across the terminals with the leads removed. Expected: 11 to 13 ohms.

3.Verify the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat show continuity. An open safety in series with the element produces a no-heat fault even when the element tests good.
