I know there are a million threads on this, but I’m still having issues after reading through them.
About 18 months ago I had to replace the thermostats in our dryer because it wasn’t heating and the problem has returned. I bought:

This time I have went through the following steps testing.
I tested power and got a roughly 240V reading there.
I tested the thermal fuse for continuity and it was good.
I tested both of the thermostats located on the heating element for continuity and both tested good.
I removed the two wires from the bottom of the heating element and it tested fine for continuity.
I wasn’t sure how to test the thermostat next to the thermal fuse.
Where do I go from here? Did I miss something?
