Hello: kc5tf
First step would be to turn off the electrical power and be sure it is infact off.
Than access the rear of the dryer where the access panel is likely to be. Remove panel and locate the part. Which should be exactly like the one you already have.
Don't have it yet? No problem. Take the make, model and serial number to any local appliance parts store in your area and get the part. Appliance parts stores will be listed in the phone books.
Once you find the exact part, remove the wires and replace the old part with the new part.
Than replace the wires exactly as found.
Reinstall the access panel(s). Supply the electrical power and test. If all is well, put dryer back in it's original place. Job done...:)

It's always adviseable to clean the entire exhaust venting system every 2 years. Or during any dryer maintenance, connection and or repairs.

Disclaimer Notes:
The do-it-yourself person can do electrical tests and continuity tests on several electrical parts. However, I do not recommend relying solely on either tests to determine if any electrical or electronic part or parts are causing the problem. The idea is not to replace costly parts until the defective one is found.
The only positive proof any part is functioning correctly, is to carefully remove the part or parts you suspect to be the potential problems. Have the local appliance parts store person test it or check it. Appliance parts dealers carry replacement parts for all appliances and are listed in the phone book under appliances.
