All I did to check the thermostat was check for continuity so idk if that is actually checking if it works. I’ll have to look for a second one I only tested one

You have a plastic thermal fuse it can only trip one time.
Then you have a limiter and a terminator on the heating element.
The terminator is the upper one and it can also only be tripped once.
The limiter on the bottom also known as the outlet thermostat is a bimetal it trips and resets after it cools.

Then you have another thermostat that has four wires this is on the exhaust near the thermal fuse. This one rarely fails but if it is failed it won't heat.
A cool dryer should have continuity across all the thermals.
