CustomerReagan from Colorado Springs CO

Drum would rotate but dryer wouldn't heat up.

First, and most important, we cut all electricity to the dryer (fusebox and then unplugged). We pulled the dryer out and removed the hose from the back of the dryer and then removed all the screws. Once the back was off we removed the heating element and it took a little force to remove the wires but we did it lightly with a pair of needle nose pliers. The video on the Parts Select website was really helpful because we knew exactly where to look for the heating element and what was involved to remove it. Once we took out the heating element we did a light clean over the back to remove any lint we could and then we hooked up the new heating element. You have to give it a little push to lock it in place so don't be afraid to use a little force. Put all your screws back in, hook-up your vent hose, reposition, and then turn the electricity back on! Really easy!
