I followed the instructions from this website. Repair was simple with the video guide. Repair estimates were for $150 -$200, I spent less than $40 for the belt, new tension idler, and new rollers. It runs like new again. Parts arrived in 2 days! GREAT SERVICE! I'll be back and am telling my friends about your site!

I replaced the Heating Element. I would recommend that you spend the time and pull off all of the heat sensors and check them for continuity before you replace the heating element.

I watched the video that showed how to do the repair. I did exactly what I was shown on the video, and everything worked the very first time ! It was GREAT ! No more squeaking idle pulley !

replace fuse and cycling thermostat. both were next to each other. very easy to do.

Followed the video from this site. Worked like a charm.

took off the back pannel, testedt the continuity of the heating coils, instaled new heater element. supper easy.

I removed the Back cover shield about 8 screws, found the thermal fuse, removed and replaced. (2 screws) Then I tested and had heat! I didn't need the cycling thermosat but all and all saved money by doing it myself.

If your dryer is not heating when turned on, first check your circuit breakers. Dryers with 220 volt have 2 - 110 volt circuit breakers attached to each other. If you don't find any breakers tripped the next thing you should do is disconnect the dryer from all power sources. With a multi meter check the 220 volt wall outlet for 110 volts on each side. Then check for 220 volts when attached together. If that all checks good then it's time to move to the heating element. Simply remove the back cover from dryer (dryer must be unplugged from all power sources) at the bottom right you'll find the hearing element connection. Disconnect both connectors and check for continuity. If no continuity then chances are your hearing element has a break in one of the coils.

The dryer would not start when pushing the power button and the timer clicked rapidly. Another You Tube video lead us to the thermal fuse. First, we took the lower front panel off, it had two little groove places to pry open with a flat head screwdriver. Then we took off the venting piece. It was jammed full of lint which is why the thermal fuse blew. The thermal fuse itself was tricky to get at the nut in order to loosen it. We vacuumed out all the lint, cleaned the venting piece and lint filter. When the part came, again the nut was tricky, but just requires patience. Put everything back together and the dryer works great again! Really easy and I wonder how many dryers get replaced when this happens.

Removed rear trim cover and vent hose, removed heating element, checked print and unplugged stay-con connections to haeter and thermal. Coil was burnt in two, got on net for kenmore parts and entered # on the part.Recieved in 3 days FEDEX and installed in reverse order. Works like new!

Fast shipping. Part arrived the next day!
