B4607X0 Roper Range - Instructions

I would not consider myself a do it yourselfer as I have done appliance service since 1970 but now work as an instrumentation technician.

installed new element within 15min... no need to pay the man .. will DIY again using this parts service...

Replaced heating element,thermal fuse,cycling thermostat,thermal cut off kit and don't forget to flip your dryer fuse in the breaker panel that was a big one for me. Hope this helps you.

I first disconnected the power, dryer vent hose, back panel, disconnected power leads to heater element. Next removed top screw to the heater box, slid the box up and away from lower mount. At this point I was able to remove 1 ea lower screw holding heater element in place. Removed heater element and installed new element. Put everything back in reverse order and started dryer. (Note: Be sure dryer door is closed prior to starting dryer)Yep, I screwed that up. It no "worky" when dryer door is open. Once the door was shut, it worked like a champ.

Followed instructions, installed part, apparent after turning on dryer and still no heat we didnt fix the problem yet, will try another different part at a later time. At least we know we will have a fresh heating element.

According to previously submitted instructions. toughest task was replacing the tiny screw at the bottom of the heating element housing. Felt good to plug it in, start it up and voila, heat. thank you for the part.

First, I tilted the dryer forward and leaned it carefully against the wall to gain access to the back cover. Used a nut driver to remove 5 screws holding the back cover. Tested the heating element using a multi-meter and it showed an open circuit. I tested the thermostat and a few other switches and they were all ok, so I knew for sure it was the heating element only. The part arrived in 2 days which was great, cause with 3 kids, dirty clothes pile up fast. I pulled several set of wires for the thermostat, switches etc. marking the wires to make sure I put them back correctly. I loosened the heating element housing by removing one screw at the top (with a clip attached) and one at the bottom. I pulled the housing out, then pulled the element out of it's cover and slid the new one in back in it's place. Screwed the cover back in, put the wires back into place and replaced the back cover. I made a few rookie mistakes during the process, but we won't discuss those. Anyway, bottom line is...the dryer worked perfectly...laundry time.

ordered on-line monday recieved on tuesday wife drying clothes tuesday evening--------just took out old element and hooked up new one --- very easy

Checked fuses, breakers, etc. with multimeter to make sure nothing else was broken, then removed the heat element and - voila - it had snapped in the middle (should've done this first!). Searched the Web for the best price; 30-45 minutes removal, diagnosis, etc. 15 min to fix it

I read all the other stories and thought this would be a piece of cake. No one mentioned that you had to remove a small piece a metal holding the element casing from underneath the top of the dryer. Very hard to reach that screw. Then no one mentioned that the element casing had to be pulled out of the hole at the back of the dryer before you could remove the element. If i had known these things ahead of time, it would have been a simple project. After all is done, the element was not the problem. Now i think i need a thermostat. lol!!!!!

Remove screws at lint filter, open top of dryer. Remove hex screw holding top of element casing. Slide dryer away from wall, remove 5 hex heads from rear panel, exposing element casing. Remove two screws holding sensors, and move aside. Lift dryer casing slightly and pull towards you to disengage from rear panel. Turn over and remove srew holding element to casing at bottom. Slide element out, and unplug two wires, noting position of each wire. Reverse procedure to reinstall element. Dryer works better than it has for years !

Removed the back,and a few screws through the top that held the filter sleeve in.
That allows enough room to reach in under the top, and unscrew the one screw that holds the element housing in place at the top.
Lifted the housing out after disconnecting the wires to the sensors and element.
Removed the element and replace it with the new one.
All of the electrical connectors slid right on the new element and put it back together.
Everything works fine.
Spent more time cleaning debris out of the dryer while I had it apart than replacing the part.
As usual Parts Select came through with the right part delivered to my door the next day, after ordering.
Thanks

Super easy!

The search to find the elements, for the chamber,was about 3 hours on the internet. The chamber is a walk in design. Made to do trermal shock testing from ( 0 to 50 C) degrees on racks of electronics. Finding out that PartsSelect had the parts was great.
I remove two circuit of heat 10KW ( 2 heaters) & a 30KW (6 heaters) & Installed the 8 new heater.
The ramp up temperature is quicker & more percise.
Thak you for your help finding the parts.
It was a pleasure to work with you.
