There is a manufacturers logo on each one of those devices, and so you should be able to find a source of that brand. Also note that the one with the button is resettable, the others will switch back on as they cool.
AND, nobody would sell them as a kit. You need to select each one to purchase it. Most appliance parts shops can sell you those parts, although you should avoid the shops that also sell new appliances because they are not in the business of being able to repair anything.
How do you know that the devices need to be replaced?

Iv tested the eliment for continuity and by passed the switches with a wire and element heated uo glowed bright so am am guessing thats the issue
Funny cause I got 2 ohms on the multi meter and am sure that means they working.
Both had continuity.
