Dryer runs but no heat.
I went ahead and replaced all the thermostats, heater assembly and jump wire which was very easy after watching the installation videos. The new heater assembly was a little tough to get to fit in. but managed to get it to fit. Turned it on but to my surprise no heat. Someone earlier had told me that a friend had the same problem and it was a faulty circuit breaker but I didn't think that could of been the problem. I then checked it and sure enough that is what was the problem, it was only get power on one leg of the breaker. Put in a new circuit breaker and every thing works great. I don't mind putting in the new parts at least I have a piece of mind that that it's in good shape and have back up spare parts if needed.

The replacement heater housing was not round and poorly fastened together..
We had to squeeze the replacement heater housing into a round configuration while pushing it into the inlet duct in the back of the dryer.

No heat
Before ordering the heater assembly, I went on the Internet. Read instructions on how to diagnose if the heater were bad and how to replace the heater, I checked the existing heating assembly with a VOM and found there was no resistance - it was an open circuit. This indicated is needed to be fully replaced.. I slowly took it all apart, and then reassembled the new part. Installation was a little tricky but eventually worked out okay.

Dryer stopped heating.
I had replaced other parts on this dryer before (drive belt, interlock switch), so knew how to remove the front. That is easy to do. Didn't even have to pull dryer away from the wall. Removed heater assembly. NOTE: take a picture, or note which wires go where! Took a chance that it was only the heating element after measuring the resistance of the element and noting that it was an open circuit (very high resistance). Could also have been something else in addition, but turned out, not. The hard part was getting the new housing assembly to fit in the circular hole at the back. It comes as a poor fit, not shaped right. I eventually just used pliers to bend in the edges, like crimping, and finally got it to fit in. Some pushing to get all screws back in place and now it runs and heats. A great dryer, over 30 years old, and still going. Well worth the effort to repair.

Dryer would not heat..
I guessed it was the heating coil. I ordered one and it arrived in three (3) days, which was great. I pulled the dryer out away from the wall a bit and leaned the top of the dryer back against the wall and removed the front cover. it took about ten (10) minutes to remove the old heater assembly. I cleaned the inside of the dryer with a shop vac. While installing the new heater assembly, the only trouble I ran into and took a little bit of time was that one lonely screw at the rear of the assembly, what a pain. I guess I spent a good twenty (20) minutes trying to put that screw in place, while trying to position the back of the new heater assembly correctly. The whole job took a little over and hour and a quarter, and the dryer is working great again. Thank you for all of the tips by previous installers, it really helped me out.

no heat
Couldn't figure out how to dismantle the dryer to get to the heater and housing assembly. Found it on your website others commenting about where to locate the 2 front screws.....after that it was easy as a piece of cake. We took it apart and installation done in 15mins. Now I hope my Maytag dryer will last another 30years....LOL

No Heat
I purchased the complete heater element and housing assembly as I do not have the wherewithall to troubleshoot the individual components. It was wise as was very easy to install. Installation instructions did not come with the part; however, knowing what I was dealing with from having replaced the belt earlier last year, I knew what the part looked like without pulling my dryer apart. I initially removed the part from the box and then unplugged the dryer. From there, I removed the front of my dryer to confirm that everything matchedup. I then drew out a diagram (rough sketch) of the part on the dryer so that I knew what went where (screws, colored wires, etc). I then used a socket set to remove th screws and disconnect the wires, then was able to put the new part in. The only thing that I used the wrench for (a monkey wrench) was to provide leverage to fit the one end of the housing into the fitting at the back of the dryer - the part arrives more elipticly(sp) shaped than the perfect roundness so it took a little extra effort to get that in but only took a couple of minutes. I reconnected everything and plugged it back in and it has worked beautifully, drying items much faster now and my 'delicate' heat is now functional (never has worked since I received the dryer 4+ years ago). Aside from doing the sketch, it was a 20-30 minute install in total.

Dryer would not dry clothes
I have had my dryer for 22 years and could not afford a repair person. It was not drying the clothes like it should so I decided it must be the heating element, yep that was the problem. My son came over and replaced the part, he said it was easy to install and had my dryer working within 30-1 hr.
I am so thankful we have do it yourself parts available to install on our own.
