Most likely it’s a burnt out element, or a failed wire/connector. Always best to confirm what’s happening with a multimeter. If you remove the connectors to the element and measure the resistance, you should see by my best guess ~11 ohms if it’s a 120volt machine, and ~5.5 ohms if it’s a 240 volt machine. If there is a much much higher resistance, or no continuity at all then it’s burned out. While you’re at it, inspect the rest of the wires leading to the element.
Since the diagram indicates that the light is fed from the same source as the element and is connected to neutral on the other side, the break is between wherever the two wires for the light connect to.
