Hi John,

For visual reference the thermostats can be seen here:

They are located at the back of the machine behind the rear cover. The only way to test them without just replacing them is to use a continuity meter to confirm that they are open circuit.

It is very likely that this is the problem, but not 100%. The element may be a fault.
