No heat in the dryer
This is super easy:

Just take out two screws on the front panel and drop the front panel off the dryer.

Then pull the wires off the heater assembly and remove (1 screw).

Move the heat fuse and heat sensor to the new heater.

Put the new heater in, plug in wires, pop front back on and, wow, that was easy!

Less than 30 min and I am a business sales guy, not an appliance repairman.

Squealing noise on start up.
I opened the back acess panel and started the dryer. Looking at the motor and idler pulleys it was obvious by the frequency of the squealing noise that it was coming from the idler pulley.
I pulled the retainer clip and tension spring from the idler pulley and removed it. I applied some grease to the shaft and reinstalled the idler pulley.
The squeal was gone confirming that the pulley bushing was dry. I ordered the new idler pulley and when it arrived the next day I cleaned the grease off of the shaft and installed the new idler pulley. Problem solved.
