Default HELP PLEASE.

If you have the correct element for your dryer, then just transfer all
the thermostats/fuses from the old element to the new one, and transfer
wires to the appropriate terminals. If it isn't obvious where the
wires go, then you probably have the wrong element.

Keep in mind that GE sometimes gives two options for elements, either a
re-string kit or a complete element. The re-string kit requires you to
remove the broken element wire from the old housing, and replace it
with the wire in the kit. It can take some skill to ease the wire into
place, so sometimes it is easier to spring for the complete element
instead.

Alway unplug your dryer during repairs. Always test a component with a
meter first to make sure it is really broken, before going to buy the
part. Always buy your parts either by model number on the dryer, or
part number on the part itself.
