Heating Element Kit - 240V 4750W

checked continuity on the thermal fuse it was bad ordered new fuse and heat element (dryer is over 10 years old time for new element) took out drum and behind it was heat assy, replaced fuse and element put back together and hit start button worked great

watched video,removed element,found obvious disconnect,ordered part,replaced.

I followed the instruction given but the thing you have to make sure of is that the thermostat is put back on the unit just the way it came off because I did not and had to turn it 180 degrees to get heat

Watched video on how to do it. Used putty knife to pop catches on dryer cover. Removed wires, noted which went where. Removed high temp thermostat, removed heater element, put in new heater element, put in new high temp thermostat, reconnected wires, closed lid and started dryer. Worked perfectly. I could have done it in less than 15 minutes, but took a little longer as my grandbaby was a welcome distraction. Old heater element had broken and old high temperature thermostat basically fell apart in my hands as it was removed. Highly recommend buying both parts and don't discard the high temperature thermostat and two screws as you need them for the new thermostat. You may have to wiggle the heater element to get it to go in to the space as my element did not just drop in, but it went in easily enough.

replaced it

I poped the top of the dryer with a flat head screwdriver, used the nutdriver to take out the heating element and the thermal fuses. I checked with Ohm meter and found thermal fuse open. Since the dryer was over 5 years old I decided to replace the heating element kit also. The one connector was real tight, so I used a small pen knife to losen the connection, replaced all connectors in order that they were, re-installed fuse and element (had a tough time keeping the fuse in the correct spot until I colud put the element screw back in, had to hold fuse in place with one hand while starting screw with other), got everything back together put top back on and ran dryer for 10 minutes. Works good as new.

My model the element was under the Timer Controls so no need to disassemble panels, Lift top and remove 3 screws.

After googling what the problem could be, I googled the heating element and this site came up. They even had the video showing how to replace the parts....awesome!! My husband was not so sure I could do it (doubter), but I saved us a load of cash by doing it myself! Thanks to this site!! These aren't really instructions, but this site has that covered far better than I could do!! :)

Video was all I needed for this repair. Be sure your nut-driver has a magnetic screw holder, otherwise be very careful as you remove the screws from back of dryer. Hardest part of the job was removing the sticky bubble wrap from the new heating element, lol.

Followed the provided video's instruction. Piece of cake! This is the second repair I've done using this site (first was replacing the motor in a Maytag Washer). Can't recommend this site enough for the part selection and the great video's that make it sooooo easy to repair appliances.9
