7. Remove high limit thermal fuse
8. Remove heating element

Installation is reverse order but do the following first!
Clean lint trap - Remove front of dryer

2. remove two screws securing the front of dryer - inside front top left and top right. Front of dryer is hinged at bottom
3. Clean all the lint you can find. If you have never cleaned out the lint, there might be a lot and the cause of over heating (shorting fuse life). Add to your yearly things to do list.
