While we strive to offer helpful advice for DIY appliance repairs, variations in models and configurations can lead to differences in troubleshooting steps, error codes and part replacements. For the most accurate guidance, we strongly recommend consulting the technical sheet for your specific appliance model.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What the part does<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heating element works by converting electrical energy into heat, which is then circulated throughout the dryer drum by the blower fan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the air is pulled into the dryer, it passes over the heated element, becoming warm. This warm air is then blown into the drum, providing the heat necessary to evaporate moisture from the fabrics. The heating element is controlled by the dryer&#8217;s thermostat, which helps maintain the best drying temperature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Symptoms of a bad heating element<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the heating element has gone bad, you may experience one or more of the following issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryer not heating up at all: a failed heating element will prevent the dryer from generating any heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryer taking much longer to dry a load: a weak or intermittent heating element will struggle to maintain the proper drying temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryer shutting off before the cycle is complete: a faulty heating element may cause the thermal cutoff switch to trip, automatically turning off the dryer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dryer running but clothes remain damp: inadequate heat output from the element will fail to properly dry the clothes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Possible causes of failure<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few common reasons why a heating element may go bad:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Normal wear and tear over time: the heating element&#8217;s components can degrade with extended use and age.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrical issues: power surges, wiring problems, or other electrical faults can damage the heating element.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blocked airflow: lint buildup or obstructions restricting airflow can cause the element to overheat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overloading the dryer: putting too many clothes in the drum can strain the heating element.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing a faulty heating element is generally a straightforward repair that you can tackle yourself with the right replacement part and basic tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learn how to tell if your part is bad here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_jdVQ1aeg4k?si=YGRSllYhctgH5FZz\"><b>How To Test A GE Electric Dryer Heating Element WE11M23<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety precautions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working on any appliance, remember to keep safety first.
