This is hypical of dryers that have heat element inside back cover

Dryer won't Heat! (http://repair2000.com/noheat.html)

The Element Canister contains most items associated heating

1. Thermal Cutout 2. High Limit Thermostat 3. Heating Element Terminals

On the Left is 4. Thermal Fuse -- These are main items to check with meter

Safety First -- Unplug Dryer before removing back of dryer -- be safe

The Wires also have terminals that get extremely hot and need repaired
