Open the door. Remove torx screws just above the door. This allows the top to fold up toward the back.Remove 2 screws with nutdriver just inside the top on each side. Then loosen 2 screws with nutdriver at the front near the bottom. The front can be lifted up and swung around to the right to get it out of the way. Optional: Disconnect the wires to get it completely out of the way.From the back of the dryer bend the spring-loaded bar that holds a pulley to the belt just enough to release the belt.From the front pull out the drum forward and out of the dryer. The belt will come with it.Now you can see the inner and outer heater coil elements. Both of mine were clearly broken. At this point follow the directions in the replacement kit.Reinstall in reverse order.
