What to remove to get to the heating element.
Very easy.
Unplug the machine. Take off the back and there it is. While you are in there clean out everything, particularly the lint chute.
Thanks very much. I have to fix ours and my daughters. They are both kenmore but are different style of machines. It has been a long time since I have had one appart. Thanks again Mel
Good luck, post if you have any questions.
