Before doing any repair yourself, make sure you are ready for that and you have all necessary equipment. Your dryer is an expensive purchase so don’t risk its safety and proper functioning when you aren’t handy enough. Check if the thermostat is defective and there is no possibility to repair it. Unplug the appliance. Remove the screws at the back securing the top panel. Now slide the panel back and lift it off. Next, carefully pull the control panel off from the top. Disconnect the wire harness and set the panel aside. Now remove the screws on top securing the front panel. Open the dryer door and remove the remaining two front panel mounting screws. Now use a flathead screwdriver to depress the locking tab and pull the front panel forward. Disconnect the door switch wire and lift off the panel. Next, disconnect the moisture sensor wire harness and move it out of the way. Remove the screw securing the heating element housing and detach the housing from the mounting bracket. Now remove the screws securing the mounting bracket to the base so you can move the bracket out of the way. With the bracket removed, pull the heating element housing out of the cabinet. Now disconnect the wires from the high-limit thermostat. Remove the mounting screws to detach the old thermostat from the housing. Install the new high-limit thermostat by aligning it on the housing then replace the mounting screws to secure. Connect the wires to the new thermostat. Return the housing to the cabinet. Plug the power cord back in and your dryer should be ready for use. Take care of your units providing regular maintenance and cleaning. Arrange a professional visit every six months.
