UNPLUG IT 'EH'
take kick plate off bottom
find element (2 to 3"plate with a nut in the middle)remove wires not the earth and meter the element (should have continuity)and to earth(no continuity)if you get a reading ACROSS the element check the termostat to see if it has a reset overheat switch (press the small red button,if it clicks its now reset )
happy hunting
