My husband disassembled the dryer and found that the heating element had shorted out. We weren’t able to purchase the element from AppliancePartsPros.com due to the item being out of stock, but we were able to purchase other components and found the heating element from another online supplier. Replacing the heating element essentially requires a deep disassembly of this dryer. Since we had already had it torn down and considering the dryer was almost 10 years old, we figured we would replace some of the electrical components while we were at it. We replaced the thermal fuse, thermal cutoff, thermostat, and thermistor. We also bought an extra thermal fuse so we would have one on hand if we ever needed one. The videos available from AppliancePartsPros.com were very helpful. Don’t forget to clean the inside of the dryer using compressed air and/or vacuum during this process. Runs like new!
