Customer Questions and Answers for Heating Element by Whirlpool

The Heating Element is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool brand electric dryers. It contains coils that produce hot air used throughout drying cycles.

Symptoms of a failing heating element include:  

• Slow drying times as clothing takes longer than usual to dry fully
• Excess condensation inside the dryer drum
• Damp items after an entire cycle 

Potential causes involve typical coil wear from repeated heating and cooling over many years. Mineral scale buildup or poor ventilation can diminish heating efficiency as well.

Compatible models include some brands produced by KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, and Kenmore.
