OK, I made my Beer Fund contribution, so I'm allowed to ask stupid questions (plural), right?  I'm not sure I'm checking this properly.  Here's what I did -

1.) Element Cannister - Black wire connected at bottom left, purple wire connected at bottom right.  I disconnected black wire, then touched one probe to the now-bare terminal (not the wire) and the other probe to the other terminal with the purple wire still connected.  Reading was 10.9.  I did the reverse, reconnected the black, and disconnected the purple, same reading of 10.9.

Where are the thermostats and thermal fuses?  I see two sensors on top of the heating element.  I assumed they are some kind of thermostats or temp gauges?  So I checked them also.

2.) Sensor on top left, white sensor with two grey wires connected.  I did same as above one wire off, one wire on, reading was 0.4.  Reversed, same 0.4.

3.) Sensor on top right, black sensor with two purple wires connected.  Same as above.  Both readings 0.6.
