Kenneth G Stamford , CT July 06, 2025 Appliance: Maytag Electric Dryer DE612 Maytag Dryer De612: Dryer not heating. How to replace Dryer Heating Element. I replaced the heater element. It was easy to remove the heater chamber. Removing/replacing the heating element took a little time. Getting the heater chamber back in took a lot of time and effort as it was very difficult to get the heater chamber to fit back into the opening at the back of the dryer.
