Hi, well it looks like you have covered all angles! But have you as a last resort tried to live test the power getting to the heater? I would suggest that you do this with CAUTION as it can be DANGEROUS and only experts should carry out this task as a last resort. If no power then work backwards from the heater to the next item in the heater loop and so on till you have tested everything untill you get to the timer and then you will probably have your answer.
Good luck....

easiest way to eliminate the thermal fuse is to bypass it and see if the dryer heats up for testing purposes only as this is a safety feature and left bypassed will cause a fire. unplug dryer,disconnect the two wires and tape them together, plug dryer back in and start, if it is the fuse you will have heat.

No heat but already replaced heating elimate
Check the thermal cuttoff. It is located on the element. If it does not have continuity, replace it. Also replace the Hi-limit thermostat, also located on the element, and the operating thermostat, located on the exhaust. These two should cut off the heat before the thermal cutoff blows.

If you have 240 VAC across the element, but the element is not heating, then you have a bad element. If you don't have 240 VAC at the element, then work your way back with the voltmeter to find where the voltage is dropping

Replaced elements but does not heat in bowl
Check the thermal cutoff located on the element.  It is designed to blow if the element gets too hot.  If the thermal cutoff is blown, the hi limit thermostat (also located on the element) will also need to be replaced.  It will have two terminals on it and if it is good it will have continuity.  Trace the wires back from the element.  The first one it comes to will be the thermal cutoff, next will be the high limit thermostat.

Runs, doesn't get hot
Either your element is out our your thermal cutoff.  Check your element for continuity if it is open, replace the element.  If not check the thermal cutoff which is on top of the element.  If the thermal cutoff is open you will also need to replace the operating thermostat and Hi limit thermostat.  The high limit is on the element below the thermal cutoff, and the opperating thermostat is on the exhaust duct.

No heat.
If the drum turns then either the element itself is broken or the thermal cutoff is blown.  The thermal cutoff is located on the element and is designed to keep the element from getting to hot.  If that is blown you will also need to replace your operating thermostat which turns the element on and off. is should be located on the exhaust.  If the drum is not spinning at all it is most likely the thermal fuse which is also located on the exhaust.

Clothes dryer not heating
I eventually changed the thermal cutoff switch and the high limit thermostat as suggested in one of your replies to another consumer and now the dryer is working fine. Thanks.
