How to Replace the Heating Element in a Frigidaire GLEH1642DS1 Gallery Dryer

The Frigidaire GLEH1642DS1 Gallery is a front-load washer and dryer combo, or laundry center. The dryer portion is equipped with a heating element that provides the high temperature needed to dry wet laundry. Should the heating element stop working correctly, the dryer will not produce heat. The tumbler drum will rotate, but without properly drying the clothing. Replace the faulty heating element with a new one to keep the dryer on your unit working properly.
