Replace the original element terminal bolts the new ones which come with the elements. Be careful not to tighten too much or you will crack the creamic insulators.

The top bolt connects both elements, the bottom two bolts use the other end of the elements, one to each.

First, check and see if the thermal fuse is blown. It is located just inside the rear of the dryer and should be attached to the exhaust duct. It is about one inch long and can be tested using a multimeter or ohm meter for continuity. If there is no continuity, then the fuse is bad and will need replaced. While in there, you can meter the heating element in the same way. Sure hope this helped and best wishes.
