Norge Dryer DEP223M Takes too long to dry

The Dryer Heating Element Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit is essential for the dryer's ability to generate hot air needed to efficiently dry clothes. The heating element works by converting electrical energy into heat, which is then circulated throughout the dryer drum to evaporate moisture from the laundry.

Over time, the heating element can burn out or become damaged, leading to a significant decrease in drying efficiency or the dryer not producing any heat at all. 

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Heating Element Kit include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry or not drying completely
• The dryer running but not generating any heat
• Unusual noises or smells during operation, indicating potential overheating or electrical issues
• The dryer repeatedly blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Get your dryer spinning smoothly again - install the Whirlpool 341241 OEM Drum Belt in minutes.

Why this belt?

• Exact factory spec: 92 ¼-inch length × ¼-inch width, 4 ribs / 3 grooves - built to Whirlpool standards, not a generic copy.
• Broad compatibility: Fits most Whirlpool-made dryers - Kenmore 110-series, Roper, Estate, Maytag, KitchenAid, Admiral, Crosley, Amana & more.
• Quiet, durable rubber: Reinforced EPDM resists cracking and stretch for years of reliable tumbling.

Fixes these common dryer problems

DIY install — about 15 minutes

1. Unplug dryer; remove lint screen housing & front panel.
2. Release belt tension at idler pulley; lift drum slightly to slide old belt off.
3. Loop new belt around drum, idler pulley and motor pulley (ribbed side down).
4. Re-assemble, run test cycle - enjoy quiet, consistent tumbling.

The Clamp is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This clamp ensures tight and secure connections within the dryer, particularly in securing ducts and vents that are essential for proper airflow and operation. 

Clamps may need replacement due to loss of tension, corrosion, or damage from regular use. A compromised clamp can lead to operational issues such as prolonged drying times or excessive noise, resulting from loose parts or improper ventilation.

Symptoms of a bad Clamp include:

• Loose or detached vents or hoses, leading to inefficient dryer operation.
• Increased drying times, as a result of compromised airflow from unsecured ducts.
• Unusual vibrations or noise, indicating that internal components may not be securely fastened.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Dryer Thermostat Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This kit includes a high-limit thermostat and a thermal fuse, both of which are crucial for regulating the dryer’s temperature. The high-limit thermostat prevents the dryer from overheating, while the thermal fuse will cut off power if a critical temperature is exceeded, ensuring safety. The kit includes a high-limit thermostat (WP53-0771) and two thermal fuses (WP53-1096 & WP53-1182).

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Thermostat Kit include:

• The dryer not heating properly or at all, leading to clothes remaining damp after a cycle.
• Overheating of the dryer, which can be dangerous and cause additional component failure.
• The dryer stopping unexpectedly or not starting, indicating a blown thermal fuse.

Causes of issues with the thermostat or thermal fuse can include lint build-up that blocks proper airflow, faulty heating elements that cause temperature fluctuations, or general wear and tear that affects component integrity.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models,.

A high-limit thermostat that stops the dryer's heating circuit if internal temperatures get too high, helping prevent overheating and protecting heating components. Replaces a failed high-limit thermostat to restore overheat protection. What it does

• Opens the heating circuit when dryer temperature exceeds the thermostat set point to prevent overheating.
• Commonly related symptoms: dryer runs but produces little or no heat, dryer gets unusually hot, or the thermal cutoff repeatedly fails.
• Works as part of the dryer's temperature-safety system to protect heating elements, fuses, and internal wiring.

• One high-limit thermostat

• Disconnect power before accessing the dryer and work only after panels are cool.
• Take a photo or label wires before removal to ensure correct reconnection.
• Test the thermostat for continuity with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacing.
• If other safety devices (thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, element) show symptoms, inspect and test those components too.
