Product review (5 stars): Very simple repair. Dryer works great.
Our 15 year old Kenmore dryer would start and get warm at 1st but it was not drying the clothes. We had Sears come out for $79 to service the dryer. He told us the "coils" were bad and he could fix it for $250. We said no thanks we will buy a new one. We went on Sears.com and they wanted $36 for replacement coils. The Sears site gave me 5303931775 as a new replacement part number. I found them on Amazon for $7.52. It was worth trying to fix myself. My wife and I fixed the dryer in 20-30 minutes.
Here are the steps after you unplug from the outlet.
1. Unscrew 2 screws on the back near the top edge..
2. Pop the top off the dryer with a puddy knife.
3. Unplug the wiring harness adapter
4. Unscrew 2 screws holding on the front panel and remove
5. Find the coils in the bottom front left of the dryer
6. Unscrew the coil cap (2 screws) and replace coils.
7. Reassemble.
We took time to vacuum inside the dryer while it was apart.
Very simple repair. Dryer works great. You can do it.
