Carl April 12, 2019 for Model Number AED4675YQ0 Does the thermostat have to be connected to the heating element? My broken original was connected, but the new one isn't.
1 Answer Hello Carl, If the thermostat is not connected to the heating element, it will not complete the circuit for 240Vac to be applied to the heating element. This will prevent proper heating. Read More...
Ruth May 13, 2018 for Model Number le609xtno I took off my wires from the heating element and the fuse on the heating element.to check continuity. Now I don't know which wires connect to the heating element? Would it be the black one that goes from the heat and then splits into two red wires or would it be the two red ones that do not originate at black? I think I hooked them up wrong because it blew the thermal fuse and the dryer will not stat and the thermal fuse has no continuity. How do i find out which way the wires go?
1 Answer Ruth, The wire that would connect to the heating element would be one of the red wires. Read More...
Batman May 08, 2018 for Model Number DV42H5200EW/A3 How do I go about replacing the wires going from the element and the thermostat and the Hi limit thermostat? I saw part # 279247 for replacing the heating element wire. Can I use this same part for the thermostats? Samsung Dryer Model # DV42H5200EW/A3 Batman for Model Number Samsung Dryer DV42H5200EW/A3 ANSWER Batman, There is high temp wire that you can get which would be part number TJMA0514G and can get connector TJMA02875-1 if you are needing to replace all the wires. Does it matter my wire colors are red, black, and blue not red, black and white? Also what kind of wing nut do I use to combine the wires?
1 Answer Batman, You would use a ceramic wire nut to connect the parts. and it would not matter the color of the wire if you are replacing the wires due to damage. Read More...

Shawn February 26, 2018 for Model Number Samsung DV338AEW/XAA-0000 Is there a Samsung version of the part listed below? Or, would this part work on Samsung dryers? It looks to be exactly the size/type needed. But I can't find a Samsung-specific part online, just this one by Whirlpool. Heating Element Connecting Wire Part Number: AP3134638 Made by: Whirlpool
1 Answer Shawn, Most manufacturers do not produce a connecting wire kit. The 279457 connecting wire kit is pretty much "universal" and will work on any 240 VAC. 30 amp power circuit, in an electric dryer or electric oven/range. There shouldn't be any issues as long as it's installed and used properly, and the connections are good and tight. Read More...
Rebecca February 24, 2018 for Model Number 11096560200 Hi, I replaced the heating element, high-limit thermostat and thermal cut-off on my Kenmore dryer. The kit I got came with a jump wire and connectors. I watched the video on how to replace them, but my dryer does not have an orange wire, so I skipped using the jump wire and hooked up the element and thermostat exactly as it was originally. Is this OK? I don't want to start a fire.
1 Answer Rebecca, Yes hooking the thermostat up the way that it is set up will work for this unit. Read More...
Lee Terwilliger January 22, 2018 for Model Number MEDB835DW3 I hadn't used my Maytag Bravos XL dryer in approximately ten days (I have the matching washer), I washed a load of clothes and put them in the dryer like I always do and went into my living room to watch TV. About five minutes later I smelled something burning (like on the burner of an electric stove, which I have an electric stove), nothing on my stove all the burners were off, nothing in the oven either. My washer and dryer are right off the kitchen, that where the smell was from and I opened the door of the dryer and the smell and a little smoke hit me in the face. Well I unplugged the dryer and took off the back, my wife says that smells like dog food, well after I got things apart I find a couple of cups of dog food in the elements of the dryer. The bottom element is all intact, but the top one in one spot has burnt through the element so it's not connected in one spot of the element. My questions are: 1. Can I still use the dryer safely like this with the element be burnt through? 2. Or should I replace both elements as it looks like the element(s), come in a pair or as one piece? Whirlpool part#AP6037386 3. Do I need to replace the heating element connecting wire? Part#AP3134638 If I need to replace them how many do I need?
1 Answer Lee, 1. NO, you should not use the dryer until the heater element assembly has been replaced. The possibility of further damage to the dryer, you, or your home isn't worth it. 2. Yes, the W11025156 / W10608823 element(s) are sold as an assembly and contains both elements , insulators and terminals . 3. No, we would not expect you to need the connecting wires 279457, unless the wire or terminals are badly discolored, melted, or the wire insulation is burnt. 4. Cups of dog food, inside the dryer and dryer element isn't "normal", you'll want to solve that issue first, or you'll be repeating the process and parts over and over again. Thanks, Read More...

Patty October 16, 2017 Can I use this wire to replace the wires going to the flame switch? They are burned and probably aren't safe!
