My dryer is not heating. I just moved in and found it not to work, so I don't know what happened to it. I have checked the voltage to the entire unit and have found normal voltage everywhere except at the thermal cut off (TCO). I get 110v to the leads but do not know where the power is supposed to go or what it does. What should I try next? If this the problem what caused it and should I check something else?

Turn breaker on and off a couple of times and than try dryer. 240 to back of dryer 2 outside legs.
UNPLUG DRYER
Use ohm meter or continuity meter both thermostats and heater should have 0 or very low ohms or a good circuit (no opens) Give model# and can help better.Keep us posted
