The HEATER is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It raises water temperature during heated cycles for effective cleaning.
This wash heater element features carefully engineered heating coils and wiring to heat incoming tap water. Elevated temperature boosts the performance of detergent formulations to cut through tough stains on clothes and bedding.
Causes of a bad washer heater can include cracked or broken heating coils, loose connections to internal wiring, or accumulated limescale buildup inhibiting heat transfer.
Symptoms of a bad Heater include:
- Inability to reach or maintain desired water temperature
- Fluctuations in water heat during cycles
- Reduced cleaning effectiveness on heavily soiled items
- Error messages related to abnormal temperature readings
This part is also compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Kenmore washing machines.
