To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken. Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..Good luck.
