Easy fix for electrical dryer with NO HEAT, for short term and long term

Problem and Solution
Electrical dryer runs but WITHOUT HEAT.
Cause:
Broken heating element
Solutions:
1. Short-term (today): clamp broken heating element/coil together;
2. Long-term: replace with new heating elements (and thermostat and thermal cutoff)
Steps
0. UNPLUG the dryer before doing any work!!!
1. Remove the cover to access the heating compartment.
2. Take a picture of the wiring before you disconnect the wires to remove the heating box.
3. Confirm broken heating element with: 1) multimeter continuity test, or 2) visual inspection.
4. Find a terminal connector and remove any plastic wrapping.
5. Clamp the heating element coil (broken sides) with a metal connector. Make it tight!
6. Run another continuity test if possible.
7. Reassemble the heating box, and put it back.
8. Test run to see if the heating element works.
9. Put the cover back if all is working and safe.
10. For the long term: Get replacement parts and replace it with a NEW heating element.
Notes
This temporary solution with the terminal connector lasted 3 weeks for us, when we had laundries every other day.
However, this is only for the short term, and you should monitor the dryer for safety and replace it with a NEW heating element for the long term.
