    My dryer no longer heats up tested everything and it all comes back to where it’s supposed to be. Got a new used dryer and the exact same thing happened to it the old owner showed us it worked and now nothing they both will turn on but on but won’t heat up

    Sounds like you may have lost the L2 side of the line.

    Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times. Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker.
    Check the voltage at the wall receptacle
    L1 to L2 should be 240 volts
    L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts.
    If OK
    Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out
    If OK
    Check the power at the terminal strip.
    Do this with the heater off and on.
    Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!!
