Very little heat
This repair was so easy. All you need is a 1/4 inch nut driver or straight socket, a pair of needle nose pliers & a flat screwdriver,file or anything flat to pop the top of the dryer open. There are 4 wires to remove and 4 nuts. take the old parts out and replace with the new and replace the wires. Hardest part for me was making sure I didn't drop the nuts.I recommend watching the video. My dryer is working great.

Dryer stopped drying cloths out of the blue. Everything work fine but no heat.
I watched a part select youtube video on possible fixes for the problem I was having. Ten minutes and two videos later I had the part out and identified as the problem. I ordered the part ($42.00) which arrived four days later. Spent ten minutes replacing it in machine, turned dryer on and went right back to performing the way it has for the last 12 years. Easiest thing I did all day. Saved me $400 bucks too. Thank you.

Unplug the dryer. Take a large flat head screwdriver and pop the hood loose from the retaining brackets on the front of the dryer and raise.Next, unhook the wiring from the thermostat and heating element with needle nosed pliers located in the back left corner. Use a 5mm socket to remove the thermostat bracket and the heating element bracket.Remove faulty part and replace. Replace heating element and tighten.Replace thermostat on the retaining bracket and tighten. Plug your wires back in and close the hood.Plug Dryer back in.

Was not heating
It wasnt to bad,its way easy for people with small hands its a tight fit for larger hands that was my only problem.After putting the dryer back in service it still did not heat correctly so I pulled the lint catcher out and the vent hose off the back and blew it out with an air compressor my God what a mess it was plugged bad should have had a fire so please look at doing the same with yours if its an older dryer.

couildn't see the belt tensioner and hold it back at the same time
I drilled two holers in the side of the cabinet 1 inch apart. I put them at the same height as the tensioner spring. I put the string through 1 hole and around the tensioner. I pulled the string through the other hole and had my son hold the tensioner back while I reached in and lined up the belt on the tensioner while my son let out the string slowly.

Squeaky wheel
Basically I started off using youtube to see how to install. Two things to be sure you do – one the plastic washer only goes on one side (read the instructions)of the shaft and two the support brackets are not threaded so you need to use the original self-tapping screws. The screws that come with it will not work. Best to use a socket set to install the screws.

Dryer stopped and would not restart while drying load
Disconnected dryer main power supply from wall socket. Opened dryer top,Thermal Fuse is mounted on the Heating Element support bracket on the upper left hand side of the back wall of the dryer. Disconnected wires from damaged Thermal Fuse. Removed hex bolt securing Thermal Fuse Bracket with a nut driver for easier access. Pull up on Thermal Fuse support bracket and remove. When reinstalling Thermal Fuse bracket be sure and line up securing clips with the slots on the Heating Element bracket. Once these are alinged push down until Thermal Fuse Bracket is secure and proceed installing the hex bolt to finish installation. Reconnect both wires and dryer should be ready for operation.
