Splendide 2100 dryer not heating

My W/D is an older model. It is the WD2100 not the WD2100XC. It does not have the numbered cycles, it has an Express, Permanent Press, Delicate, and so on cycle selection. I did check all of the passages that that the air flows through from the heating element housing all the way through to the rear vent and there are no obstructions such as lint. The unit isn't overheating and kicking out, it is kicking out as soon as it applies power to the heating element. And the heating element test out good.
