Replacing the heating element on my Kenmore Dryer model # 67902791 serial # MH5008107

Definitely having to do repairs on your Dryer yourself can be a challenge. I have taken the time to research on the Manage My life website and have located a few links similar to your issue. While you are waiting for a detailed reply from an expert I have attached the links below. Hope this is of help!!

Thank you for your question.

I am sorry you are having a problem with the dryer. I will be able to assist you with replacing the element. First, unplug or turn the power off to the dryer. Then click here to watch a video on how to replace the element. The video shows removing the whole heater housing but it is not necessary to remove it. Once the front access panel is removed, remove the screw in the cover plate in front of the element. Then remove the screw securing the element. Once it is removed, pull the element out of the housing. Slide the new element in and reassemble.

I have looked up the service history on the dryer and there are no recalls on this dryer. I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you need further assistance on the dryer.

If you do not feel confident repairing this problem yourself, then you can have it repaired at your home by a Sears technician. Here is a link for the website: Sears Home Services .
