Description

This heating element assembly produces the heat needed for clothes drying. Replacing a failed heater restores normal drying performance and stops long-dry or no-heat symptoms in compatible electric dryers. What it does

• Generates the hot air used to dry clothes when the dryer is running.
• Commonly replaced when the dryer produces no heat or takes much longer than usual to dry loads.
• Can be damaged by wear, debris, or a failed thermal cutoff; can cause blown fuses or tripped breakers in some faults.
• Works with the dryer's thermostats and thermal fuses to regulate operating temperature.

What's included

• One heating element assembly

Install notes

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the dryer before starting work.
• Replace only if part number matches; improper replacement can cause damage or safety hazards.
• Inspect and test the dryer's thermal fuse and thermostats while replacing the heater—failed safety devices can indicate other issues.
• Use caution handling the heating coil and sharp sheet-metal edges; wear gloves and follow OEM service instructions.
