This 240-volt heater assembly restores the appliance's ability to generate and maintain heat during operation, helping cycles reach designed temperatures for proper performance and results. What it does:

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the appliance's heating circuit
• Helps the unit reach and hold target temperatures during heat-required portions of the cycle
• Replaces a damaged, shorted, or open heating element
• Symptoms can include no heat when expected, longer-than-normal cycles, tripped breakers, or heater-related error codes

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; 240V circuits can be hazardous
• Document wire locations and move connectors one at a time to the new assembly
• Avoid bending or striking the element; ensure secure mounting and proper clearances
• After installation, check related safety devices (high-limit, thermostats, fuses) and verify the circuit has correct voltage and continuity

This 12-14 x 1/2 screw is a factory fastener used to secure appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a tight fit, reduces rattling, and keeps parts properly aligned for reliable operation.

• Secures panels, brackets, and internal components to their mounting points
• Replaces damaged, rusted, or missing hardware
• Helps stop vibration and rattling caused by loose fasteners
• Restores proper alignment and stability of covers or assemblies

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas/water before servicing
