If the fuse is out -- no heat period.
try turning on the steam switch -- any heat now? -- if yes -- BREW
thermostat bad.
If not -- one of the heaters in the boiler is bad.
I'd walk away.

After checking all of those tips, you can check also all the electric
terminals and cables.

Except for the fact that you say it's getting a little warm,
I'd suspect the thermal fuse. It's easy to check. Unplug it
or turn it off, take off the lid (the screw is hiding in the
water spout) and do a continuity test across the fuse (hiding
in the plastic tube on top of the boiler.)
Another possibility is a thermostat. To rule in/out the
brew thermostat, turn on the steam. If it gets hot, the brew
thermostat is bad. If it still doesn't work, it may be the
steam thermostat, the thermal fuse or ?
You should obviously do the second test first, since it's
simpler, but I've seen two fuses go so it's what I would
suspect.

Is the machine 110 volt or 240? Do both elements heat up at the same rate?
It may be that you have a faulty thermostat (test by use of a jumper to
bypass the tstat).

It's a 110 V unit. Both heating elements are cool, even though the water is
barely warm. To bypass the thermostats, do you just jump the wires that
connect to the thermostat? 2 thermostats of course. Could this be a switch
problem?
