How to fix Hotpoint WD869 dryer?

I'm trying to fix a WD860 which doesn't dry.
- there is no error code
- the drum turns and timer works
- the fan motor is running
- the heater element is not heating and there is no continuity (should be 48ohms?)
- there is no current to the heater element (should be 240V?)
- there do not appear to be any broken wires or loose connections

Any ideas please?
