Testing the coil in my LG Dryer?
I have an LG DLE2512W Dryer, which stopped heating recently. Easy to guess it's the heater coil. New one ordered, installed - BUT there is still no heat! Now the parts place is willing to take the heater coil back, but before I do, I would like to test the OLD coil to see if it is indeed good or bad.
I'm fairly competent with an ohm meter, can someone tell me please how to go about this test?

Set the meter to ohms. Touch each terminal end of the old coil looking for continuity. If still together you will get an ohm reading. There is a high limit sensor near the coil. I had to replace that once for this symptom. At room temp it should show continuity as well.

If the heating coil has continuity it should work. What the resistance is or should be is irrelevant.
