How To Remove & Replace a KENMORE Clothes Dryer Heating Element (Model 110.64742400) 

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm a single mom, and I haven't had a dryer that heats in almost 3 months. I've ordered a new element and I'm tired of waiting for someone to come help me so I'm going to do it myself. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm a single woman doing this on my own and this made it so easy! Much appreciated ❤

I never realized that if I looked in the back with the lights out I should see something glowing? That’s very helpful! This is not as hard as I thought it was going to be! Thank you.

Perfect. 62 yr old nana here, and you've given me the confidence to do this. Thanks!

This is a helpful video. Thanks! A suggestion: The failure point could be the heating element or that high limit thermostat attached to the side of it that you pulled off. Better to pull off the wire connections to them before you even take them out, and check across their terminals with an ohmmeter to see if they read "infinite" (open circuit) before buying parts and replacing these. An "infinite" reading on the ohmmeter means the part is bad. Check the thermostat and the element. It could be either one. There are also two other parts, a cycling thermostat and a thermal fuse, more to the left on the air outlet pipe at the bottom center of the dryer on that model. If the element and high limit therm are okay, check those. Any of these 4 parts can cause no heat in this dryer.

I've always used your videos to help me.....superwoman over here make me feel invincible lol.....thank you so much to going through the steps and not overly talking! I love it

This is the best tutorial I’ve found online by far! Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail

Thank you! Very helpful. I did have a few comments: I wouldn't yank the wires like that, but pull by the metal. If you yank off the wire you have a bigger project. Also, I would replace the thermostat at the same time, in fact the part I ordered came with it. No need to be doing this again in a few months.

Thank you for the video! Only had to pay $35 for the element and got it done within 15 minutes.

Thanks for the thorough instructions. Made it easy to install. Got the part for $20 from AMZN so this saved God knows how much in repair costs. Thanks!

Excellent. Maybe not for the mechanically challenged, but fast forwarding through the basic spots made it much easier to grasp. There are other videos on RU-vid that are 25 minutes long that are more detailed for those that need it.

Was able to fix my parents dryer, found the snapped coil in the heating element too, thank you kind stranger.

Thanks for the info! I bought this dryer(and matching washer) probably 15 years ago for 150$ for both. I’m just now having to replace the element and the pulleys. Great units

Thank you for helping me fix my dryer

Just a suggestion, there was a lot of lint accumulated inside the dryer, under the back cover and in the vent pipe. I use our vacuum to clean things up before closing the back cover and connecting the vent. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Man. Pretty straight forward but nice to be shown the way.

Thanks for the video. I would never speed up an instructional video, every detail is important.

For a non mechanical person, this was very helpful. Although it would have been nicer to see you disconnet and reconnect more of what you fast forwarded thru. Not the screws but the other parts. Thank you for the demonstration

Very good instructions. Plain and simple. Thanks from Jacksonville Florida.

Thanks bud u helped me out tremendously today!!! I was literally able to fix my tryin in 10 minutes with your help.

You are my new best friend! Directions were very clear and understandable. Thank you!!

Thank you!! Ordered my part and fixed my dryer this morning after months of not having one!!!

Video worked out great for me over here saved me a ton of money. Thanks

Thank you brother. Looks just like the one I have.

I needed to know how to add the part you fast forwarded

Thank you for the tutorial. Yours was the clearest I found.

Thank you for taking the time to create this video and share the knowledge ✌🏻

God bless you, thank you for sharing your expertise we are back to having dry clean clothes for our kids

Thank you Mr. Weasly. It was magic

Thank you for this, it was very helpful, I could figure out everything except where was red wire in the kit supposed to go? I replaced all of the fuses and thermostat. I left it out and it works fine

Thanks. Not sure why the heating element of my mom's dryer went out after just 3 years. I know it was 3 years because I bought it for her for Christmas. Her last Kenmore was 17 years old when it was replaced.

Thank you!!! Our dryer is running but not heating. I have taken every step before ordering the element and replacing. Is there is a chance it could be anything other than this element before I order it. I saw it would also be the thermal fuse but have seen the dryer won’t run at all if this is blown. Is that true? Our dryer runs but gets no heat. Thank you!

How do we know which wire goes to which place to plug into the heating element

Thank you i needed this.

I have the same dryer, and mine is tripping breaker. Is this why you replaced your element?

Looks simple, thanks for the run through , I just got a used dryer for free, high hrs on it , it runs smooth ,but it hardly makes heat , I doubt there is any other Avenue to suspect besides the heating element * did I see a sizeable vinyl record collection in the background ? Nice

Thank you for making this video. Made it a snap.

awesome. thank you. exactly what I needed. great video.

What if the heating element isn't 2 pieces? There's also no screws on the side to detach it. Mine looks like one big piece.

This was a big help thank you

I’ve replaced all thermal fuses and still no heat,so it for sure needs a new heating Element?

Thank you for the video it helped me out too

Thanks so much for this post 🙌🏾💪🏾💯

Great video

great video, thanks for sharing.

Great video but I'm having. A hard time. Where the heating element should be, in your video it show we can remove it and replace it from the screw points. But on my dryer it's all one piece and there's no jesting element there. I do t know where I should look for it. Any help ? :(

My drier has only two wires to be connect to the thermostat and I see that yours have three. I'm looking for another one but I can't find it. I don't wanna make a mistake please help me.

My tab is stuck what did you guys do to get urs off?

So what part do I order? And where from?

Hi. I have a Kenmore Cloth dryer. the problem is, when Dryer door open. with door switch press heater works fine. but when door close, Heater is not working. while the voltage is present at heater terminals. can U help me please.

Thanks needed this🧘🏽‍♂️

What does it mean when you only have to top wire and the bottom right wire but there is no wire leading the the bottom left side

Awesome video thanks....only problem I can't budge the thermostat off of the heating element ...ughhhhh

Do you have any suggestions if this has been done and it’s heating up but now flashes error code “HE”

...is that a stash of LP records in your basement? Maybe a video on THEM if they are still there. Video on the repair was helpful, thank you.

Thank you every. Excellent.

Does the heating element purchased from this site last a long while, years? Compared to the other brands sold on Amazon? Or same durability?

How long did it last?

Thank you sir awesome video

Awesome job

Thanks for the video. This worked perfectly for me. !!!

Huge help thanks

Very helpful just changed mines

I can guarantee my dryer now needs this, it hasn’t heated for 6 months now, and I can’t take the laundromat stuff anymore lol. Does it make a difference if it’s a gas dryer? And so typical places like lowes/Home Depot carry heating elements? I’m gonna attempt this with your guidance, and I’m far from a handyman! Lol

How can you find more of those ceramic spacers ? Four of the ceramic insulators in my heating element broke in half so I need to replace them.

It's 2019 and it's costing me $68 plus tax so the price has doubled in 3 yrs. thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing this

Big help

Thanks so much for this great video! After watching this video, my husband attempted to check out the heating element in our dryer which was not producing heat and discovered a break in the element. We ordered the part off a popular on line service and for $50.00 he fixed it himself. Checked out prices locally and they wanted almost $100.00 for the thermostat and element, not counting what it would have costed for them to change it. We noticed when there was no heat, the timer did not want to drop in time and just stayed at the time we set it on.Just wanted to know if anybody knows if the element burns out, does it affect the timer on this Kenmore model? Thanks again you saved me $50.00 plus.

Thank you u saved me

Why the banjo music and high speed when you are replacing the thermostat? Needed to see that😬

Thank you! This really helped me being a single woman

I got the kind of Kenmore dryer that does not have an easy to remove access panel on the back. Now what? A decision by the Wizards of Smart over at the dryer making company.

Why in the world would you speed the camera up when connecting at a crucial point?

I changed my element today but no heat so I will get a thermostat

thank you@

Great job boss.u made my life alot easier today.thanks.diff sub for some other projects u may have on here i have to do.

Did it fix the problem? Lol

You went fast where I needed slow. The thermostat isn’t doing what’s it’s supposed to to disconnect.

Why would this guy store vintage vinyl records next to a heat source?? Secondly, he should have used a shop vac to clean the lint from inside before re-install the rear cover. That much combustible material near a heat source...SMH. People are in such a hurry to make a video they don't plan ahead.

Jesus you couldn't have done this in a worse way. You don't pry the thermostat from the top, you don't pull the by the wire when trying to remove it, and you don't twist friggin anything out.
