Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You My 22 year old dryer just stopped getting hot   Michael M. • Brunswick , GA • November 04, 2015

After 22 years my Kenmore (Whirlpool) dryer stopped getting hot. So I went ahead and reviewed the videos and figured I could repair it myself. It should be noted that the only part that failed the Ohm test was the thermal fuse. However, I figured that since I have it apart, I might as well go ahead and replace the heating element and the cycling thermostat. Here is a rundown of what I did and how long it took: • Taking the back off and vacuum <1 minute • Finding the components (from the... Read more

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Dryer was running but not heating   Chris B. • Milton , FL • March 20, 2016

The heating element had a break in the heater coils, so I replaced it with a new one from Appliance Parts Pros. I also replaced the thermal fusible link and thermostat switch because they were so cheap it just made sense to go ahead and do it while I was in there. I also cleaned every nook & cranny in the dryer, then cleaned out the vent piping- which was about 100% clogged. The video's of how to tear down a dryer were indispensable to this repair - along with APP's always having the right... Read more

Admiral Dryer Heating Element Kit
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: LA-1044

The Dryer Heating Element Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit is essential for the dryer's ability to generate hot air needed to efficiently dry clothes.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Heating Element Kit include:

  • Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying completely
  • The dryer running but not generating any heat
  • Unusual noises or smells during operation, indicating potential overheating or electrical issues
  • The dryer repeatedly blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • No heat or not enough heat

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You My maytag dryer was not heating the element was fried   Karl S. • Carbondale , IL • April 27, 2015

I had to pop the lid up from the front with a screw driver, and behind the element was a metal piece, a heat shield, that had two screws that had to be removed from the back. The little part with the blue round tag (part of the kit that came with the element) was easily removed with one screw. Likewise, the element had a single longer screw holding it in on the right, and on the left a little rod was sticking through a hole in the metal, and you can merely move it to the side and up the slot,...

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Overheating maytag dryer   Mike H. • Sammamish , WA • December 31, 2015

Our dryer suddenly began overheating while drying. Outside of the dryer cabinet was uncomfortably warm to the touch, dryer drum was hot, charred smelling laundry. Based on what I read it was likely one of two things - a failed cycling thermostat or a shorted heating element. First I cleaned the vent hose and ducting to ensure good airflow, which I had. I opened the circuit breaker first, then took off the door and front cover. I started with a thorough cleaning of the dryer with a vaccuum... Read more

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You My dryer wasn't heating   Jesus V. • Kissimmee , FL • March 27, 2017

PLEASE UNPLUG DRYER FIRST. This was my first attempt at trying to fix my dryer (Maytag SDE515DAYW). Order the element kit Part Number AP4046564. The installation was easier than I thought. Just removed the two front panels and I was able to reach the back of the dryer, under the drum (this is where the heat element was located), disconnected the wires (took pictures first) and removed the two screws that held the heat element. Pulled the part down and it just slid off. Connected all the wires... Read more
