Can I find out how to get to the element someplace on-line? Is there anything else it could be? Thanks for any help. Short on $ so trying to figure it out myself.:)

While the motor needs only 120 VAC to run, the heating element needs 240 VAC.

If you do not feel comfortable to do it yourself then it's better to hire a pro. If you do think you can handle it, let me know and I'll provide the instructions. Gene.

Again, I just figure it is the heating element in the dryer that has gone out but I will start where ever you say to start. Thank you.

If the heating element in your dryer is an old style and it does not look like the element shown on the following picture then you have to order the two heating element wires as well. - The heating element Part number: AP3094254 - The heating element wire (2 needed) Part number: AP3134638 Gene.
