Default Is it the heating element???
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 110.66902691
Age: 5 - 10 years

So dryer runs without heat. Took apart dryer, removed heating element and it was not broken. Tested continuity on the thermal fuse (ok), thermostat (ok), thermal cutoff (ok) but when I ohm out the two lead on the heating element they do not show continuity. Does that mean the heating element is bad even though I did not see it broken?

You have to have continuity on the element to work!! If you bump all the coils with your fingers you'll see a wiggle on the broken coil!!!
