I watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ULq9svKZk.
When I tested the 2 connections on the top of the fan thing, the one on the left had continuity but the one on the right did not. Then we removed the heating element and it was broken so I ordered a new one. But if I also didn’t have continuity on the operating thermostat does that mean that needs to be replaced as well? On the video, I couldn’t tell exactly what parts he was referring to.

Hi. The right part on the blower housing is a thermistor. This does act like a cycling thermostat. Just a basic continuity test will not work on this part. Your meter needs to be set to kilo ohms setting. This thermistor will test at about 10,000 ohms at room temperature. It does not sound like your thermistor has gone bad. I recommend replacing only the element and then test unit. If you need any further assistance please ask.
