Appliance Repaired: Whirlpool Dryer
Age Of Appliance: 5 - 10 years


First, I moved the dryer out where it would be easily accessable. I then removed the back of the dryer using a nut driver. Once this was complete, I removed the cover holding the heating element. I disconnected the two wires and puled the old element out. I replaced it with the new heating element and reconnected the two wires. I then replace the back cover and moved the dryer back in place. The dryer works and heats much better now. Thankyou

Parts Used:
Heating Element (15.5" long x 5" wide)
