Easy Peasy
I don't know why such a new machine had the element burn out, but repair was simple enough.

Easy to replace, an extra hand came in handy when putting in place and the placement of mounting screws
It came faster then expected, which was great news. Thank You for the fast service!

My dryer is not heating. It shows it could be a few different parts such as cycling thermostat, heating element, and a few others. It says i can test these parts with a multi-meter but i cannot find what the readings should be on the parts. If i knew then i could test them. Thank you.
For model number GTX18ESSJ0WW
Hello Paul, Thank you for your inquiry. The readings on the thermostats and thermal fuse should be close to 0 ohms. The reading on a dryer heating element should be between 5-50 ohms of resistance. We have included links to our articles on how to test the thermostats and heating element. Hope this helps!

My dryer has all of a sudden started to require being run twice (at more than 60 min each time) to dry a load of clothes.I am assuming this is a heating element issue. How do i know for sure this is the problem before i start going and buying parts to repair the dryer?
For model number GTDP400EM1WS
Hello Becki and thanks for writing.
It sounds like a faulty thermostat PS267926 check and replace if needed. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
If that fails you will have to consider the heating element.

I noticed that the top of the dryer gets hot only on the left side. The whole top of the dryer used to get hot.
