    Hi there, the element is situated at the rear of the dryer. First you'll need to unscrew and remove all clips from the protruding cover on the back panel of the dryer. You should then see a metal fan as well as another cover. The element it situated underneath this cover. Remove it, and uncouple the old element from all the wires and fittings. Then reverse the process to fit the new one. Check out this video for help: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/tumble-dryers/a/9/1284/how-to-fix-a-dryer-thats-not-heating-up-hotpo.html. The dryer in the video is a lot more basic than yours, but hopefully the process involved should help you understand your dryer a little better.
