💡 Pro Tip — Replace the Thermal Fuse at the Same Time:
A burned-out heating element almost always takes the thermal fuse with it. While you're already in there, replace the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat in the same visit — it costs a few dollars and prevents a second service call within weeks.

⚙️ Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — requires rear or front panel removal and wire harness disconnection
- Always disconnect power before beginning any repair
- Inspect and clear the exhaust duct before reinstalling — restricted airflow is the #1 cause of element burnout
- Do not overtighten mounting screws; snug is sufficient to avoid cracking the element housing
- Test on a short cycle before reassembling the full cabinet

💡 Pro Tip — Check Your Drum Seal While You're In There:
If your dryer is old enough to need a heating element, the drum felt seal is likely worn too. Replacing it in the same service call prevents heat loss around the drum and extends the life of your new element.
