How to Fix E63 Error (Step-by-Step)

Turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dryer.
To access the heating element, you will likely need to remove the rear panel of the dryer.
The heating element is a large, metal assembly with coils. Visually inspect the coils for any breaks or signs of damage.
Using a multimeter, test the heating element for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates the element is burned out and needs replacement.
Disconnect the wires from the old heating element and remove the screws that hold it in place.
Install the new heating element, making sure to secure it with the screws and reconnect the wiring correctly.
Replace the rear panel, restore power to the dryer, and run a heated cycle to confirm the new element is working.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
