Frigidaire Washer Dryer Combo Heating Element

The Dryer Heater Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire dryers. It is responsible for generating the heat necessary to dry clothes during the drying cycle. This assembly includes a back plate, ceramic insulators, a 5/16 inch terminal heater element already attached, and a dryer safety thermostat.

Over time, the heater assembly can fail due to factors such as regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical issues. A faulty heater assembly can result in the dryer not producing enough heat or not heating at all, significantly affecting the appliance's performance.

Symptoms of a bad dryer heater assembly include:

• Dryer not heating or taking too long to dry clothes
• Clothes coming out damp after a full drying cycle
• The dryer shutting off prematurely or not reaching the desired temperature

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Electric Dryer Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dryers. Located within the dryer drum cavity, this component produces the necessary hot air to evaporate moisture from wet laundry. Terminal Size: 5/16 inch. For the 1/4 inch terminal size order 5300622032. This electric dryer heating element restring coil does not include the heater housing insulators 131472100 or the terminal block 3202786.

Causes of element failure may be corrosion from atmospheric elements accumulating over time, cracks in filament coating from repetitive heating/cooling stresses, or exhaustion from workday after workday of extended use.

Symptoms of a bad electric dryer heating element include:

• Inability to achieve drying temperatures required for most fabric care
• Prolonged drying times reduce efficiency and convenience
• Absence of hot airflow from vents despite a running dryer

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement heater assembly restores proper heat output in your appliance. It delivers the thermal energy needed for normal operation so your unit can reach and maintain the correct temperature and complete cycles as designed.

• Generates heat for the appliance's heating/drying/defrost function (as applicable to your model)
• Helps the unit reach and maintain target temperature for proper performance
• Common failure signs: no heat or weak heat; cycles take too long or do not complete
• May trigger heating-related error/fault codes; visible breaks or hot spots on the element; tripped breaker from a short to ground

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; internal panels and chassis edges can be sharp
• Document wire routing and mounting positions before removal; route wiring exactly as original
• After installation, ensure secure connections and clearance from metal surfaces; run a brief test cycle to verify operation
