Where is the heating element located? In the front or the back? I can't seem to get the back panel or the front of the dryer off to replace. So wondering where its located so I don't keep wasting time taking bolts and screws out.

For model number wed8127lc1
Hi Sara, thank you for reaching out. Ensure that the exhaust vent and lint filter are clear. If they are fine, the issue could be with the high-limit thermostat. We would recommend replacing the thermal cut-off kit, part number FIX991443. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Dryer starts a rattling noise when it gets warm after running awhile. Its ok when it first start running? It doesn't do it all the time
For model number WED8127LC1
Hello Victor, thank you for asking. We have researched your model and found that the rattling noise generates because of lint objects in the dryer, bad rollers, or a faulty belt. It's worth checking the area below the lint filter in case there are objects underneath rattling against the dryer. If that is clean, we would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: Support Roller, part number FIX11752609, Drive Belt, part number FIX11722115, and Idler Pulley, part number FIX334244. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re
