That is the which is connected by black wires and has green dot on it. I tested and it is not apping the current. How can I fix it. Do I to replace the heater or can I replace the thermostat.Thank

the way to test any heater is to measure its resistance when not plugged in.

a broken heater will almost certainly be open circuit.

a functioning heater will have a resistance of about 10-100 ohms. depending on power and voltage

the thermostat should be short circuit when cold and open circuit when hot. try a fan heater or hair dryer to get it hot
