I'm trying to fix the "hot dry" function on my dishwasher--as is, I
get no steam, no heat, and no drying. After seeking some advice, I
removed the heating element and tested its resistance with a
multimeter. It said 0 OHMs! I figured it was broken and got another,
but that says 0 too!! Does this make sense?

You don't really need the "hot dry" feature. Many dishwashers come with a
switch labelled "hot dry" or "energy saver" which simply turns the heating
element off. You now have a permanent "energy saver" dishwasher. Just
open the door and pull out the racks to let the dishes air-dry. And save
some electricity to boot.
