Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Ge
Part Number: OEM7860531
Manufacturer Part Number: WE11X103

This 240V heater assembly replaces the electric heating element module in your dryer, restoring proper heat to the airflow. Replacing a failed element helps address no-heat complaints and improves overall drying performance. What it does:

  • Generates heat by energizing the element at 240 volts to warm air moving through the drum
  • Restores heat when the original element is open or shorted to the housing
  • Helps with: drum runs but no heat, long dry times, cool exhaust air
  • Element should show continuity across its terminals and no continuity to chassis when tested
What's included:
  • 1 heater assembly
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; allow the unit to cool
  • Access the heater housing from the rear or front, depending on model; photograph wiring for reference
  • Move wires one at a time; reuse mounting screws; transfer any thermostats mounted on the old housing if present
  • After reassembly, ensure the exhaust vent is clear to prevent overheating and repeat failures

Questions & Answers

For Ge Heater Assembly (240V) (Part Number: OEM7860531)

1 Answer

Albert, The correct belt for the model number you supplied is WE12X10014 / WE12X10014. But a worn out or damaged belt wouldn't normally cause a problem with the idler pulley and spring, it will compensate for excess wear but only to a point. You do need to make sure the belt has no twists in it and is properly installed and routed around the drum, before you attempt to install the belt to the idler and motor pulley, this may help. "Front access allows removing belt from idler pulley at lower right. Remove belt as normal then place idler to the right on motor bracket. Lift up the drum, reach under the drum at the center relief on lower front. Pull idler towards center then back underneath the special motor mount bracket. The bracket has a hook that will hold idler arm and allow you to easily place the belt over the idler pulley & motor. " Once installed, turn the drum slowly by hand a few revolutions, this will allow the belt to align itself and the pulleys, if there is a problem, the belt will usually "kick" itself off the idler and or motor pulleys.

Teri for Model Number DBLR333ET1WW

I bought a new coil yesterday and installed it. The dryer worked through a load and a half and just cut off. It squealed very loudly though. I've taken it back apart now and i notice that the heating element may be ruined. It doesnt have a perfectly round hole in the center like the picture on here shows, it has a notch worn out toward the bottom left. So two questions....1) Is there something I may have to replace behind the housing? 2) Does the connectors and coil come with this assembly?

1 Answer

Teri, The connectors and coil does come with the heater housing assembly which is part number WE11X103. Also check the bearing to make sure that it is good as this could cause the issue that occurred. There should be nothing behind the housing that would affect the heater.
