Sounds like the only thing you didn't check was resistance on the heating element. I am not sure what people consider normal, but I know if bad it will show open.
^ This.
Heating element is the first thing I'd likely check.
yup, the most likely failure item, I don't know the exact resistance you should see, but on a common run of the mill ohm meter it should read almost a dead short if it is good. 1200w would be about 0.1ohm, meter likely would read higher, like 0.2-0.4 ohms due to it not being a "4 terminal" measurement and including lead resistance. If it read in the few ohms it is likely burned out. If it reads in the 1K ohm or higher yup it's open and needs replacing.
