Not too difficult to install
April 13, 2021|chris, Greeley, Co

After watching several You tube tutorials, I was able to take my dryer apart. The new element was pretty easy to install. The only trouble I had was with the top bracket of the heater element casing. I had no tool to tighten the screw down with.
