HD949M*429 General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Had to tap three holes in the rear bearing to match the three attachment screws. Screw up with the part.

Unscrew two screws at front that go upward to remove top. Lift up and remove top. Undo 2 screws at top front corners to remove front. Will have to disconnect two wires on inside bottom left front. Remove square metal piece at bottom right of back to get access to inside. Go through here to remove belt from pulley system. Take picture to help in reinstalling belt. Remove drum by pulling forward. Will have to remove screw 3/4 way down on right front to loosen the side in order to get drum out. Check continuity if you have a continuity tester. Look for broken coils. Disconnect wires from heating element. Take pictures. Remove heating element and remove and replace coils as indicated in directions that come with heating coils. reassemble in reverse order.

I watched video supplied from parts select, only took about 30 minutes, hardest part was putting belt back on, couldn't fit hands in easily, but once I did it, dryer is like new, can't hear a thing.

Replaced the broken heat elements.

took apart element was broke in 3 places retread the new element and put back together your videos are a great help. Thanks

the replacement part was easy to replace but remembering how the belt went back on took alittle more time..

I unpugged the dryer. I removed the 2 long screws in the upper section of the door opening, allowing me to remove the lid of the dryer. This gives you access to remove the 2 short screws that hold the entire front panel of the dryer in place. I removed the front panel but left it plugged in (just lifted it and swung it open like a big door.) I reached under the drum and relased the drum belt from it's pullies. I removed the belt and then pulled out the drum, giving me access to the heating elements. I cut away the old elments with wire cutters. I followed the included instructions for stretching the new coils to the correct length (40.25" for inner coil and 48.25" for outter) and then restrung the elments. This part takes a little patience so that you don't overstretch the coils. I attached the terminals to the terminal blocks and hooked-up the wires. I checked the elements to make sure they weren't grounded to the base-plate as instructed. I put the dryer back together and plugged it in. I got to wear dry clothes later that same day. I did see a really good video on this operation

Watched the video on YouTube and everything went great!
