Kenmore / Sears Washer Heating Element

This heater assembly warms the wash water inside the tub so the control can reach and maintain the selected temperature. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating performance and helps return cycle times to normal. What it does:

• Heats the water in the washer's tub during applicable cycles
• Helps the control reach and hold target temperatures for better cleaning
• Failure symptoms can include cold wash water, extended cycle times, and reduced cleaning performance
• Visual damage or an open circuit on the element indicates replacement is needed

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• The heater mounts at the bottom of the outer tub; remove front or rear panels as required by your model to access it
• Note wire locations; loosen the center nut, press the stud to release the old seal, and carefully withdraw the element
• Seat the new gasket evenly, tighten the nut to compress the seal, then run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper heating

The Washer Heater Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG washing machines. It provides heated water to wash cycles, helping activate detergents and release tough soils for deeper cleaning. 

Causes of a faulty heater assembly typically include cracks in the heater element from chemical exposure or thermal expansion/contraction cycles over time. Electrical connections can corrode from mineral deposits.

Symptoms of a bad heater assembly include: 

• Inability to select hot water cycles  
• Slow or incomplete activation of detergents
• Reduced cleaning performance on heavily soiled loads
• Error codes indicating temperature sensor problems

This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore washers.

10-inch heating element that restores proper heat production in affected appliances. Replaces a worn or failed element to help resolve issues like no heat or unusually long cycle times. What it does:

• Generates heat so your appliance can reach normal operating temperatures.
• Common symptoms it addresses: little or no heat, longer-than-normal cycles, or intermittent heating.
• Replaces a single failed element to return consistent heating performance.

What's included: One heating element. Install notes:

• Disconnect the appliance from power before attempting any repair.
• Allow the element to cool and handle carefully to avoid bending or damaging the coil.
• Ensure the terminal connections are secure and free of corrosion; tighten or replace fasteners as needed.

This heater assembly restores consistent, controlled heat inside your appliance so cycles reach the correct temperature. Replacing a failed heating element assembly helps resolve no-heat complaints and performance issues that leave loads cold or extend run times.

• Generates the heat required during the appliance's heating phases so temperatures rise as intended
• Works with thermostats/sensors to achieve and maintain target temperature
• Typical symptoms: no heat, lukewarm operation, unusually long cycles, or heating-related error codes
• Often confirmed by an open element or out-of-range resistance in continuity tests

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Access the heater per the service documentation; photograph wiring and routing to aid reassembly
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging coils; transfer any brackets/sensors from the original if they are not supplied with the new part
• After installation, inspect and clear airflow or circulation paths and verify correct voltage before test operation

This heater assembly replaces the dryer's heating element and housing to restore warm airflow for drying cycles. It's a direct-replacement assembly that re-establishes the appliance's heat source when the dryer won't heat properly. What it does:

• Houses the electric heating element that produces heat for drying cycles
• Replaces a burned-out element, open circuit, or damaged housing that can stop the dryer from heating
• Helps resolve symptoms such as no heat, only air tumbling, or weak/partial heating
• Works with the dryer's blower and thermostat to deliver consistent drying temperatures

• One heater assembly (heating element installed in housing)

• Disconnect power to the dryer (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing
• Allow components to cool and wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges
• Verify the part number matches the dryer's parts list before installation
