I need to replace a heating element on a stackable washer and dryer. I don't know how to take apart the dryer. Everything I have found online is telling me to go through the front which I can do but the disk the drum mounts to will not come off the bearing mounted on the back of the dryer. The element is mounted to a steel plate that has the thermostat and limit on it. I would like to know how to get the disk off the machine so I can remove the element assembly. I think I can just replace the element its self but it has a ceramic mount which the wires are connected to and the only way to get the old one off is to break the ceramic piece. if I get the old one out how would the new ceramic piece go back in? I have a used element that I can swap out. any help would be greatly appreciated.
