SOURCE: The top of our whirlpool duet 8300 dryer just got dented
The shell must be removed from the unit to service.
There are 2 screws in each rear corner.
Remove them - then slightly pull the front forward to disengage the clips.

SOURCE: Whirlpool sport duet dryer won't dry
First you have to determine whether you element is in the front or the back of the machine this is done easiest by looking at the front of the machine and seeingif its one complete piece or two. If its one, the element is in the back, if two its in the front. We'll start if its in the back first. Tools you'll need is: 1/4 nut driver or drill with 1/4 adapter and a multimeter with ability to check continuity. With the machine unplugged, remove the back cover of the dryer. Once done, the heating element will be located on the right hand side with two fuses on the housing of the element. Test the element and each fuse seperatly by removing the wires and checking for continuity on each component. All parts should show continuity, so if one doesn't its bad and needs to be replaced. Now if the element is the front everything is the same with the exception of you have to remove the lower portion, usually held on by 3-4 screws located underneath.

What you will need to do is remove the front lower panel ..Test the thermal fuse with a meter for continuity. Here is the thermal fuse to order in case you find it bad.
