No Heat
This was soo much easier then I thought!!! Make sure you unplug the dryer FIRST!! I removed the bolts that held the dryer back with the socket wrench. The removed the 2 screws that held the heating element in place. Disconnecting the cords was a little harder but will come off with the pliers. There is that piece of your old heating element that you need to remove to put on the new one that was hard to get off. its being held on by a metal lip and at first I couldnt figure out how to get it off, but then I just kept bending it (the metal lip) until I was able to get the piece off of it. Then just connect the wires onto the same points that your removed them from. Replace screws and back of the dryer and WaLa!!! You've just saved yourself the price of labor for an electrician.... Trust me if I can do this YOU can... My husband thought I was crazy.. I get shocked changing light bulbs but my dryer is drying a load of clothes as we speak!!!

Dryer would not start
I unplugged the dryer and moved it out from the wall to access the rear top control panel. I removed the five screws and removed the panel. I pulled the starter switch button off. Holding the switch from the back with a twist and removed it. With new switch in hand I transferred the three connectors to new switch then with a twist remounted to the control panel. Pushed the button onto the new switch and replaced the control panel cover. Back against the wall, plug it in. It started!

Dryer loads took repeated cycles to dry a normal sized load of laundry.
Researched causes of low heat and purchased thermostat and heating element. Delivery was less than one week. Installation was easy with the on-line video.

Dryer Took too long To dry clothes
I made sure dryer was unplugged and I removed back to expose the heating element canal on lower right side. Removed two screws and two electical connections. Pulled the element down and out. Used a flathead screwdriver to slowly pry the thermo senor off the heating element assy. There are no screws here just a small metal piece to hold it in place. Discarded the old element and reversed the above procedure. The best part of this is the part arrived quickly and I saved $50-75.

no heat from the dryer
first i removed the back cover by removing the six 1/4 inch screws then i removed the wires to the thermal switch there were three of them and using an ohm meter i checked each one for continuity until i found the one that had an open circuit. i removed the two 1/4 inch screws holding it in place and replaced it with the new one.
