Product review (5 stars): Works great - Installation instructions
This element works well. It was easy to replace and actually gets hotter than the original. In most cases this can fix a broken dryer for a fraction of the cost of having it done professionally or getting a new one.

Installation is simple:
1. Unplug the dryer (this is extremely important as they run on very high voltage and the wire connectors are exposed.
2. Remove the air duct from the back (you can keep it attached to the wall).
3. Remove the back cover. This usually involves unscrewing all of the screws on the back cover and lifting it around the air outlet.
4. Disconnect all of the wires to the heating element. There should only be 2 wires close to the top of the heating element. Take a picture or tag the wires so you know which one is which. In many cases the connectors will be different so it will be obvious but label them anyway.
5. Unscrew the old heating element and remove it.
6. Remove the limiting thermostat from the old heating element. The replacement elements do not come with a thermostat.
7. Install the thermostat on the new heating element. Just use the same orientation as on the original.
8. Screw the new heating element back into the dryer.
9. Reconnect the wires to the heating element. Make sure you put them back in the same places using the picture or labels from step 4.
10. Put the back cover back on and screw it down.
11. Plug the dryer back in and you should get hot air again!
