- Remove Front Panel: Locate and remove the four screws securing the front panel. Two are typically at the top corners, and two are at the bottom corners.
- Disconnect Door Light: Carefully disconnect the door light assembly from the front panel. This usually involves pushing it in, rotating, and pulling it out.
- Disconnect Wires from Heating Element: Label the wires (top, middle, bottom) connected to the heating element for easy reassembly. Disconnect all wires by pushing the two parts together and pulling. Loosen the ground wire with a wrench.
- Remove Old Heating Element: Unscrew the long screw holding the heating element in place. Carefully pull the old heating element out of its housing. Note the condition of the old coils.
- Install New Heating Element: Place the new Electrolux 134792700 Heater into the housing. Secure it with the long screw. Reconnect the wires according to your labels (top, middle, bottom) and tighten the ground wire.
- Reassemble Dryer: Reattach the lint trap housing, reconnect the door light, reattach the front panel, secure the control panel, and finally, slide the top panel back into place and secure its screws.
- Test Run: Plug the dryer back into the electrical outlet. Open the dryer door to confirm the interior light turns on. Close the door and start a short cycle to ensure the dryer heats up and operates correctly.
Operating Instructions
After successful installation, operate your dryer according to its original manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the lint trap is clean before each use for optimal performance and safety.
Maintenance
- Lint Trap Cleaning: Clean the lint trap before or after every load to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
- Vent Cleaning: Periodically inspect and clean the dryer vent system to ensure proper airflow. Blocked vents can lead to longer drying times and potential overheating.
- Component Inspection: Annually inspect the heating element and other internal components for signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
If your dryer displays an E64 error code, this typically indicates a "Heater Open Circuit" or a "Heating Element or Wiring Defective" issue. Replacing the heating element, as described in the installation section, is the primary solution for this error.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Dryer Not Heating: Check the heating element for visible damage or continuity with a multimeter. Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
- Long Drying Times: Clean the lint trap and dryer vent thoroughly. Overloading the dryer can also cause this.
- E64 Error Code: This indicates a heating element or wiring defect. Replace the heating element following the instructions in the Setup section.
