Heating element is not working. I checked the heating element with a

When a heating element goes out they go open.
You might have a weak element, where one spot is burned almost away or you
might a shorted element where there's a shortcut. Both situation can be
detected through simply physical inspection.

It it looks good and doesn't measure open, then it's probably good.
