1093B3A Roper Wall Oven - Instructions

Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.

found a video online and followed the instructions. First unplug dryer, then take off back cover with a 1/4 inch socket unscrew the 5 screws from the cover and remove back. Then with a ohms meter you have to check to see what terminals are bad. In my case it was the heating element. So, next you go to top of dryer and unscrew the lint trap so you can lift the top of dryer and remove the bracket holding the housing where the element is located. First take off the leads that are connected to the element and housing unit. Then gently lift housing unit up off the hinges and pull it out. Then turn over and there is another screw that holds the heating element in. After unscrewed the element pulls right out and then just put new element in and reverse everything.

Undid the back, remove wires going to element, unscrew lint trap, pop the top and undid the nut-screw holding the element housing. pulled out the bad element and did everything in reverse with the new element... unplug it first though because I left that step out.

Dryer was taking long time to dry cloths, electric bill seemed higer than usual, used 1/4" nutdriver, removed rear panel, opened top cover w/screw driver to pry with, marked all wires with blk tape to id them later. Did thorugh inspect/clean of link section to propeller baleds 1 hr, continuity check of heater, switches etc found heater lower than spec, ordered heater, continued to clean all sections & vents, installed new vent hose, pulled about 2lbs of sand, dust, lint from all sections, heater works great now, clothes dry quick. New heater core came in mail and installed it. The newer elecment was 5200 watts, orig was 5400 watts, ohms was same, size etc. The unit works like a charm. Notes:Did not check or lubricat the drum. Drum is very squeaky, belt in good shape. Dryer is 20yrs old. Will replace when I can afford it! for now I can live with some sqeaks, anyway as I am getting older my hearing is going away, Good luck.

Used the dryer illustrated parts list to find the heater. Used a multi-meter to determine that the heater had no resistance, meaning it was open and could not heat. Removed the heating element held to the dryer with one hex screw with a wrench. Purchased a replacement heating element and received it within 2 days. Screwed the new heating element with a hex wrench again. The dryer works like new now.

Pulled out the old element (by removing the two screws that hold it in place) About a couple of inches and disconnected the two wires. I then inserted the new element and screwed it in place and connected the wires. Just took two of us to fix the problem...one to tilt the dryer forward and the other to put in the element.
I am so happy I didn't have to go out and purchase a new dryer........new ones are way too expensive!

The repair was easy, removed back panel from dryer, removed heating element w/ shroud, disassembled old heating element from shroud and replaced with new one. New one was a bit bigger, so tension holds it in place, but no worries, works fine now.

would have been nice to know this supplier had a warehouse in Louisville, then I wouldn't have had to eat the 2nd day air shipping I paid for. Would have been happy to pick it up at their warehouse or pay for regular shipping, would have gotten here faster.

Basically, the stories listed on your website had excellent instructions. The important thing to remember is popping the top to get to the upper housing clip. Otherwise, a person might try to pull the element out from the bottom of the housing, which would be a minor disaster. I'm very happy with PartSelect and the website. I'll be back!

I followed the advice that was already published for my Dryer. I removed the cover on the rear of the Dryer, Disconnected the two wires attached to the Heating Element. I positioned the Dryer on its side so that it was easier to remove the one sheet metal screw holding the Heating Element in a metal box. Removed the old Heating element. I found where to coil was open. Installed the new Heating element. Put everything back together. Turned the dryer on and there was heat in the Dryer. Thanks to all who posted for the excellent advice.

One screw held element. Removed back of dryer. Removed screw, pulled out failed element. Slid new element in. Put in and tightened screw. Replaced back. Only two problems: screw head was pointed away; replacing air duct to wall tube (always is a problem for me).

tested the heating element with a multimeter and got no reading.ordered and got the part (3 days flat,excellent).removed a few hex head screws in back to drop the panel,popped the top with a putty knife,removed one screw to release the heating element housing and one more for the element.reversed the procedure and dryer is up- and cooking.could not have been much easier.

I'm so proud of myself. This Harry Homeowner is not too savvy, but this repair was easy. I watched a video on YouTube and followed along. The part was the least expensive though PS $36 delivered vs $45 to pick up . First disconnect the power. The nut driver was used to pull off the back panel and expose the heating unit. There was one hard to reach nut underneath holding on the heating coil. This I was able to get with a small wrench. Once removed, I slid out the broken part and replaced with the new part. I then tightened up that hard to reach nut first - make sure you do it tight or it would rattle. Next I put the back Panel on and reconnected the tube in the back which blows the air outside. It started right up and produced heat. I was a little concerned at first as I could "smell the heat" It must have just been some material on the coil - first time running it had to burn off. The odor was gone in 5 minutes. I could do it again in half the time if needed. Don't buy a new dryer or pay someone to fix. If I can do it so can you.

Disconnected/marked all wires for element and 2 heating sensors. Removed upper strap that secured top of the heating element housing (tube). Removed housing by seperating top from dryer wall and lifting up on base; sliding down and out (may have to tip back of dryer up before sliding out). Once housing was out, removed single screw attaching base of element to housing and removed. Inserted new element and attached hardware/wiring in reverse order. Ran dryer for approximately 10-15 minutes; ensuring any residue was burnt off before use. This dryer is about 20 years old; after this easy repair it's now running like new. It used to take about 70-90 mins to dry a load of laundry, but now it takes about 30-40 mins. I'm very pleased that I saved money repairing this myself vs. purchasing a new dryer.

We did a lot of googling for repair stories, how to use circuit testers, schematics and part identifications. The stories and guides we ran across were very helpful. It was a little complicated but well worth it as it saved us from shelling out big bucks for a new dryer. Thank goodness for PartSelect as they had good information and made it very easy to look at the parts and order the one we needed. They were very prompt in shipping it out as well.

I read "Frank from Ft. Collins" description of his disassembly/repair since it sounded exactly like our dryer model and problem. It was only because of his description that I was able to EASILY take out the element and put the new one in. Since I already had the element out when we got the part, it took about 10 mins. to put the new element in and test. Voila! Problem solved, I saved us $500 on a new dryer (even though the one we're using is probably really energy inefficient, but hey, they just don't make 'em like they used to!) and it was fixed. Even though I'm in charge of DIY and home improvements at our house, *this* particular incident made my hubby SO impressed. Frank's a genius!
