Description

This heater sheath is the protective cover that surrounds the dryer's heating element, helping protect wiring and other components from direct heat. It lets the heater run safely and reduces the chance of element contact with other parts. What it does:

• Covers and shields the heating element from contact with the dryer drum and internal components
• Helps maintain proper airflow around the heater assembly
• Can prevent arcing or shorting caused by a damaged or mispositioned element
• Commonly replaced when the sheath is cracked, deformed, or shows heat damage

What's included:

• One heater sheath

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting — this part is part of the dryer's high-temperature electrical system
• Access usually requires removing the dryer front panel or drum per the model's service instructions
• Inspect the heating element, thermostats and wiring while the unit is open; replace any damaged components
• Use proper fasteners and routing to keep the sheath positioned so it does not contact the drum
