How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6013455 / WP8573069 Dryer Heating Element

Our dryer seemed to be taking a long time to dry, often needing a couple cycles to complete the job. Then one day it stopped heating at all. After watching a couple videos and testing with a multimeter I figured out not only the thermristor had blown (can happen due to bad airflow) but also half the heating element was shot. I ordered both parts for overnight delivery and received them at noon the next day. Replacement was easy and the dryer is good again. Side note: After the repair was done I decided to blow out the house duct with a blower, and then started getting "AF" (airflow restriction) errors on the dryer. It appears I blew lint down the duct and it collected on some old bird nests that had gotten in there, blocking most of the air. I bought a lint eater kit, got the duct cleared all the way through and the dryer works better than ever! 

I found your repair video online. I followed the steps to find my heating element. Upon removal, I discovered that it had burnt out. I ordered the new element, which was offered at a lower price than any other I had found online. I used the savings, to get two day shipping. The part arrived, a day early!! Within fifteen minutes, my dryer was kicking out some serious heat!! I have already recommended Appliance Parts Pros, to a friend. Great company, to deal with!!!! 

I replaced the broken heating element in my dryer and it works great now. 

Ordered a new element on a Sat. It arrived on Tues. Installed and running in less than an hour. 

Replaced the heating element, very simple, take a picture of the wire connections. Hardest part was moving it out away from the wall to get to the back where the heater is. Many YouTube videos that walk you through it if you get stuck. Just do it!

Bought the product from Appliance Parts Pros and watched a very short YouTube video on how to replace it. The correct product showed up in a couple of days and it took me 10 minutes to replace it. I really appreciate the assistance.
