Good Afternoon doambro, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

I understand you are seeking instructions on how to replace the heating element on your Frigidaire dryer, FRE5711KW0. Regrettably, this is not a normal DIY job. Generally, qualified technicians often perform these complicated part replacement therefore there is very limited information on how to do so. In this regard, I would suggest reaching out to a professional to proceed further.
