Thermostat?? Thermal fuse was closed too so I asssume working. Thanks for your help!!

Is that 220V at the receptacle or at the terminals where the appliance cord is connected on the back of the dryer?? One of these terminals could've burned opening the circuit...

220 is at the terminals, only 110 at the element. I am thinking thermostat since it does heat a tiny bit....thanks

check at the motor switch to see if there,s a wire burn,t , the red /orange wires are your heating circuit these wires will be heavier looking then the other wires.
