Replacing a heating element in a Roper clothes dryer
I have a Roper clothes dryer about 4 years old and it needs a new heating element. We had a tech. come out and give us an est. however we cannot afford to pay 235 dollars can I replace this myself? Where do I find the element? I removed the back cover and did not see anything that looks like a heating element.

That sounds high! The heating element will be enclosed in a box-like assembly, so you won't initially see the telltale coiled wire of the element. Here is a good site with instructions on replacing the dryer's element. It is a relatively easy task for a handy homeowner. I'd guess $30-50 for the part, and maybe an hour or so for a first-timer to swap it out. Make sure you unplug the dryer!!! Best of luck, WallyH |

My dryer is not drying my clothes. Initially, the dryer would be hot and not dry but I had moved and the vent lining was too long. That worked for awhile, but now, it takes 2-3 hours to dry the clothes. Another site said it might be a blown fuse. How do I get to the fuse box to replace it?
