Continuity test to see if a new element is required

Currently the drier is taking an age to dry clothes - the drier does still get warm. I am doing a continuity test on this heating element. There are 5 wires - white, black, 2 light blue and one red. Between white and red I get a reading - and the beep. White and blue no reading The black & white no reading Black and red no reading Black and blue no reading Which wires above should give me a reading - but does not.
