    How to replace the heating element in the dryer. I have it out and got the new one. Not sure if I remember where all wires get hooked back up.

    There are only two wires supplying power to the element. One on each end. Be sure to clean all parts of the dryer before putting it back together or the element will fail rapidly. There are several ducts that move air that must be removed and washed out well. Then, you need to clean the blower fan with a brush and soap and water. Be sure to check the high limit because they frequently weld the contacts shut. To help I refer you to these sites: http://www.electrical-forensics.com/Dryer/ElectricClothesDryers.html
