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

Estate Dryer Heating Element
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP4391960

The Dryer Heating Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This component is responsible for generating the heat needed to dry clothes efficiently. Situated in the rear or bottom of the dryer, the heating element heats the air before it enters the dryer drum, providing the warmth necessary for drying garments.

Common causes include overheating due to restricted airflow from a clogged vent, a break in the heating coil from wear and tear, or electrical issues such as short circuits. It's crucial to maintain proper dryer venting to prevent overheating and to ensure the longevity of the heating element.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Heating Element include:

  • Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
  • Dryer not heating up at all
  • Increased energy bills due to the dryer running longer
  • A noticeable difference in drying efficiency

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

No longer includes terminals and adapter leads. You can purchase the wire separate, part number 279457. Another common Whirlpool dryer element is 279838. Use our model number search to be sure you're getting the correct element for your dryer.

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • No heat or not enough heat
  • Takes too long to dry

Since the dryer was 24 years old I opted to replace all the possible problem components, instead of just the bad one. The parts aren't that expensive and do to their age I figured it was worth it to avoid having to go back into the dryer in a few months. The repair was surprisingly easy and went pretty much as the video instruction AppliancePartPros provided with one exception. Because, my model was much older than that used in the video, I had a more difficult time replacing the Heating... Read more
