Dryer runs great, no heat
Everything has been super easy so far. Replaced the heating element (super easy), the thermostat (super easy), and just replaced a fuse (super easy). Still no heat though. There are 2 more thermostats to replace, but getting kind of expensive. Not sure how far I should take it before just giving up. Not sure if I want to tear the dryer apart further. Any suggestions? The videos have been VERY helpful.

It was taking to long to dry clothes
Using a adjustable speed drill, removed all the screws off the back panel of the dryer. Then took some pictures of wiring with my cell phone, (for reference on how everything was connected together). Removed the cycling thermostat and replaced it. Then removed the Heating element, put the new High limit thermostat on the new Heating Element and installed it on the dryer. Replaced the back panel and all the screws.

No heat.
After checking the heating element and all thermostats and fuses, found that the high limit thermostat was bad by using a multimeter. Noticed the heating element had only been heating on on end because the metal was not showing any signs of heat even though the unit tested good. I ordered the parts from PartSelect.com and had them in two days. Watch the video on how to install. Posted site to my Facebook. This is a great website.

Dryer would spin but not heat up
After reading through a few of the repair stories online, I figured out the parts I needed. I placed the order for the parts, and they arrived promptly the next day. I replaced the heating elements all of the thermostats using the instruction vidoes from the site. The entire job took less than an hour and the dryer is running and heating better than ever. Thanks for all of your help and support....

No heat
It was a really easy repair. Simply removed the back cover and swapped out the parts. The only tricky part was getting the wires reconnected.

Dryer has no heat but all other functions work.
Folks, I have to compliment you on one of the best integrated and intuitive websites I have ever encountered and my compliments to Steve for a job well done on the DIY video presentation. Impressive and it answers the question, "Can I handle this job or do I call a repairman."
Regarding the dryer heating element problem, after reviewing Steve's great video on element replacement, there was little doubt, that anyone with rudimentary familiarity with basic hand tools could handle the job and in the process, save $100 just by eliminating the repairman visit.
After removing the back of the dryer, the heating element was removed and the problem was obvious, as a coil heating wire had parted opening the heating element circuit.
The three parts I ordered, Heating Element, Thermal Cutoff, and High Limit Thermostat took less then one hour from start to finish and that included testing the dryer in all cycles. As I said before, great job, fast parts delivery and good prices, all complimented by a world class Website. Well-done folks. I'll be back when something else goes South on me here at home.

Dryer running with no heat
I am nine months pregnant and can't believe how easy it was. Took the back panel off and saw that the heating element looked fine. I checked to three thermostats and found the two that were dead. I found the two online that looked like the two i needed, ordered the parts and they came in 2 days. It was sooo easy i can't believe i actually thought about calling someone to come fix it for me.
