Heating Element Removal
The heating element is held and sealed to the tub by
compressing the rubber gasket between the two metal
mounting plates of the element. When the nut in the
center of the element mounting plate is tightened, the
two metal plates are drawn together compressing the
rubber gasket.

3. Loosen the compression nut and pull the heater
assembly out of the drum. (See Figure 4-97)

This procedure is much easier if a deep 1/2”, 6 point
socket (or 13 millimeter, 6 point) is used to compress
the locking tab of the plastic pin. Push the socket onto
the tapered end of the pin as far as it will go to
compress the locking tab.
