My dryer has been performing fine until a few days ago when I realised that the heat had stopped working. I need to be able to find out which part I need to replace therefore I need a starting point.

Where do I open the machine up and should I be able to spot which part needs replacing.... I think there are three possiblities

a. the coil
b. burnt wire connector
c. thermostat


Please help

Actually, just take off the bottom panel, and look all the way in the back on the bottom left side, and there will be the element housing. There is 2 screws holding it in, and there it is. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom

On bottom in rear, to the left, is the heater assembly. Just check it for broken wires or put a meter on it. Anything without continuity is the problem. When checking parts remove one of the wires so as not to get a backfeed(false reading)I am assuming you have the machine disconnected from power source.
