hi, if you look at the back of the dryer there will be a bulk on it. this is the panel that houses the heating element, themastat, and fan, unplug the machine, now u need a screw driver most prob a philips (cross head), unscrew all the screws holding the panel and make sure you secure the panel before you unscrew the last screw, somtimes the element is connected to the panel so there will be wires on one side of the panel, you may need to change the thermasat or the heating element. the thermastat is a little round disk with wires conected either side.
