Parts Needed
Parts Needed
Heating Element (Option 1)
Replacing just the heating element (DC47-00019A) is a little more involved, as it must be removed from the enclosing tube, and the thermal fuse/switch must be replaced.
This is the lowest cost repair option.
Heating Tube Assembly (Option 2)
Replacing the entire heating tube assembly saves time disassembling to install the heating element.
This is the fastest repair option.
Tools Needed
Tools Needed
Large Phillips head screwdriver (to open the case)
Small Phillips head screwdriver (to remove subassemblies)
Needle nose pliers (for electrical connectors)
