I have the replacement element but don't know how to take the old one out and install the new one. My hubby is in hospital and he usually does this sort of this but it's really urgent that I get it done today. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Mickey, I'm not sure how you knew the heating element was the problem but if your hubby normally handles these jobs then I would suggest you talk with friends/relatives to see if someone close to you could do this job rather than trying it yourself. I'm saying this because we're talking electrics and getting it wrong could do more harm than good. Another thing to consider is that it is your thermostat than has gone if your dryer still doesn't work when you replace the element.
