Well not being a electricmabob but one thermostat reads 1 when set to 2000 ohms on a digital meter.
I assume this means it's conkered.

CREDA seemed to be a good make and last for ages.
Unfortunately we can't have a normal vented machine due to where it is in the house.
Set to 2000 ohms on the meter it reads numbers when probes touched together then drops to zero.
when put across the cold thermostat it reads 1.
Whereas the other thermostat (as there are two) reads numbers and then drops to zero.

So you've got one stat reading 0 ohms and one reading 1 ohm ?
If that's the case then I'd assume that they are both working.
Actually I wouldn't - I'd either trace the wiring to see what they are supposed to do or short them out, one at a time, to see if the heater works. I've got short lengths of wire with croc clips either end (mini jump leads) to do just this.

Fantastic!!!! Just shorted the thermostat and the heating element glows red. RESULT!!
Thank you all for your help and hopefully this thread will help others in the future.
