You are measuring something incorrectly.
If the heater gets voltage (240 volts) and has continuity (10 ohms approx), it will heat.
Could be the heater measures OK but has a break as soon as the current hits it the break opens. Give the heater a jiggle while measuring it.
When you measure a part always remove the wires from one side of it, otherwise you may be measuring a parallel circuit path. Also use a low scale to measure the heater. Check the heater terminals to the case, should be an open.
To get 240 volts across the heater the thermostat must be OK
