how do i replace my maytag dryer element?

How do you know that the element is defective ? Go to this

site and they will tell you exactly how to find out -

go along the edge of the top and depress the spring clips that hold the top down

raise up the top of the dryer and the heat element is in the back right there on the top

before you go a fixing this dryer,be sure to kill the power to the machine. unplug it. older models have the element below the drum

in that case remove the front panel after poping the top

TIP: you can buy a restring kit way cheaper than the whole mailbox. The mailbox is the heatchamber, notably because it looks sorta like a mailbox.

What is your model number, maybe I can help with a picture of it to help you.

And Sears doesnt own Maytag, Whirlpool owns Maytag.

go to sears...they own maytag now and ask them
