Exclamation How do i replace heating element
Model Number: WED9400SW1   Brand: Whirlpool   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
I have already replaced the thermal fuse and dryer still won't heat so I think I need to replace the heating element, but cannot find instructions on how to get to it. We had lots of trouble getting to the thermal fuse and I didn't even see the heating element when we had the back off. Does anyone know how to replace this on my model? I can find videos on you tube on other models but not this one.
Thanks

You can access the heating element by removing the lower front panel. I suggest you purchase a VOM (Volt Ohm Meter) for testing parts. Your way will get real expensive, real fast.

Hi.

The front toe panel is held by two screws (one in each corner).
You can not just replace the parts without testing them first.
You need to own a multimeter and know how to use it or otherwise it would be cheaper for you to call a repairman.

Simon.

If you will get on your knees you will see two screws one in each corner on the top of the toe panel. Please look first.
