Replaced the heating element and fuse. Had continuity through circuit but still wouldnGÇÖt work. Replaced additional thermostats etc., it turns out that when the heating element shorted it also damaged the breaker, so I lost one leg of the circuit. Hence the drum would turn but no heat. Check the breaker for 240.
