Description

This heater shield is a protective cover that surrounds the dryer heating element, helping prevent heat damage to nearby components and reducing the risk of contact with the element. It restores proper shielding for safe operation. What it does:

• Covers and protects the heating coil assembly from contact with other components or laundry
• Helps direct heat away from sensitive wiring and panels
• Can prevent charring or localized heat damage when damaged or missing
• Commonly replaced when the shield is warped, cracked, or shows heat-related discoloration

What's included:

• One heater shield

Install notes:

• Disconnect the appliance from power (unplug or shut off breaker) before starting work
• Allow the dryer to cool fully; heating parts retain high temperatures after use
• Installation typically requires access to the dryer cabinet and removal of panels
• Wear gloves to protect from sharp sheet-metal edges and handle gently to avoid bending
