Do I need a new thermostat along with this?
Laura for Model Number MDE7600AYW
Answer Hello Laura. No, not unless your thermostat is bad. If it reads closed for continuity and is good, you will only need the heater 307178. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
Is this the heater coil for my maytag dryer?
