Replace the heat element in a water heater or clothes dryer - PEP BB electricity.sand.element

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Electricity.

In this Badge Bit, you will replace a heater element for a water heater or clothes dryer.  Note: dish washers aren't a part of this BB since if you're washing by hand and using your washing machine as a drying rack, the element isn't needed anyway.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
