This was very easy to change! Pull a couple of wires off and remove a nut, pull out the old one and replace with the new.

Problem
Gas Dryer would not start
Tools
Screwdriver for fuse, socket set to remove back panel on dryer
Repair & Advice
Checked breaker first. Then with multimeter checked for continuity on the door switch and start button, then checked the thermal fuse for continuity. Easy to replace. Also changed out the thermostat which was recommended to change when putting in a new thermal fuse. Took longer to figure out which part was bad than to change out the thermal fuse and thermostat.
