testing for continuity

Dryer Repair

Hello guys,
Glad to have found this site,a lot of useful information here.I am working on my dryer that is not heating.I am confused with testing for continuity.I have a digital meter.I have it set on 200.The thing I get confused with is I read you should get a reading of zero when good,and infinity when bad.But then I read that coils should read 1220, 1365,560.Are all the parts suppose to show some resistance?Or just the coils?Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a reading around 82 for the ignitor,is this correct?

Well I fixed the problem,it was a thermal fuse and cycle thermastat.My question now is,Would clothes being piled up on top the dryer keep the timer from advancing,and as a result burn out my thermal fuse?

The most common cause of those parts going bad are insufficient air flow… clean the vent hose and make sure plenty of air blows out from where the vent connects outside
