Have DEGX2 Dryer. Blowing and running fine. No heat. Believe I need a new element. Any manuals or direction sheets on replacing heating element 395711?
I had the same problem. Everyone continued to tell me that I needed a new heating element, clean lint trap, etc. However, I took the front off of the dryer and located the heating element. On the front of the heating element, in between two wires, there is a red button. Push the button and you might hear a click that sounds similar to a circuit breaker. It is a reset button for the heating element. Try that and it might help.
Last year this dryer failed to heat - called tech - they replaced heating element - 2 days later unit went down again - tech cam back cleaned out dyer vent. After 325.00 spent unit worked fine. Almost 1 year to date -unit failed to heat again, decided to look on line for repairs info as I was sure I would replace before having another service call charge. Found this video - took apart reset and put back together. Works beautifully. As a femal, was quite impressed I corrected the issue. I recognized the unit had probally overheated due to numerous of continues loads that are typically not normal for our family. Thanks for the video instruction!
