How Do You Replace A Heating Element In A GE Dryer?
If your GE dryer is no longer drying clothes in a reasonable amount of time, the heating element has probably stopped working. Before you start working on the unit, check the airflow vent behind it to ensure that no lint or other debris is clogging it. Clean it out and test the dryer to see if it heats properly. If it does not, replace the element, which consists of two heating coils. Disconnect the dryer and move it into an open space so that you have access to the back panel. Remove the metal screws from the back panel using a 5/16 socket. Remove the panel and set it aside. Relieve the belt tensioner by pushing the idler pulley in the opposite direction of the belt. Remove the belt from the pulleys. Remove the screws from the metal plate covering the drum shaft with your socket. Remove the plate itself and set it aside. Remove the clip and the washers from the drum shaft. Move to the front of the dryer and open the door. Locate the four Torx screws on the inside top of the dryer pane
