The Heater and Housing Assembly is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. As the main heat source, the heater coil works together with the housing to effectively heat air flowing through the dryer. Precisely maintaining optimal drying temperatures is crucial to the drying process.
Symptoms of a bad heater and housing assembly include:
- Inefficient or prolonged drying times
- Excessive lint accumulation inside the housing
- Rust or damage visible on the heater coil
- Odors produced from a burnt-out or shorted heater element
Causes can be normal wear over time, moisture damage if the housing is not cleaned regularly, or an internal short if the heater coil is cracked or broken.
This heater and housing replacement is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore electric dryer models.
