Answer Hello. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Also check the heater and thermal fuses and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Hope this helps.

Answer Jeff, To replace the heating element. Pull unit out and unplug. Remove the rear cover on the dryer. The heating element will be on the right side when looking from the back. The duct will have 2 screws at the bottom to remove. Remove the screws and the element. Install in reverse.

Answer Gil, To remove the heater from the heater box, the heater box will have to be removed. The Drum will have to come out in order to accomplish this. Once the heater box is out there is a screw that holds the heater in the box. Remove screw and take out of the heater box and install new heater.
