Heating element
1) Unplug the dryer. 2) Remove lower front panel, use screw driver to push down then pop the top forward. 3) Heating element is on the right. 1/4 inch nut driver removes front plate and the screws holding the foot in place.4) Remove the two wires connected to the heating element and pull the heater toward yourself 5) Remove the screw next to where the two wires connected to the heater, It takes some effort but it will slide out the heating element. Slide the new element in, put in screw next to terminals, slide heater back into place, put foot screws in, put deflector back on with screw, connect the wires back onto the heating element, put the front cover back on, plug in the dryer and test. It will smell for about a minute being new.

Dryer would not heat.
Had a lot of trouble getting front panel off. Check You Tube for directions. Checked heating coils and thermostats and found they were OK. Cleaned lint from fan and replaced thermostats although they may not have needed it (thermal cut-off kit). Put panel back and it works. See YouTube to see how to check coil and thermostats. They may check but if something is wrong it is either them or the control board. Thermal Cut-Off Kit is much cheaper.

Idler pulley bearings shot
Remove the back cover from the dryer after unplugging unit from electrical outlet. Remove the belt by moving tension arm. Remove the tension spring (by hand). Remove the idler pulley bracket with a nut driver. Remove the Tri-Star retaining clip with a screw driver. Remove the old idler pulley. Remove old washer... replace with new washer and idler pulley... I could have reused the tri star retaining clip but elected to use new one. Put arm back on, re-hook spring, realign belt, put back cover back on... dry clothes.
