This heater assembly replaces the heating element that warms the dryer drum so clothes dry efficiently. Restores normal drying performance when the original element is broken, burned, or open. What it does

• Provides the electric heat source that raises drum temperature for drying.
• Heats air circulated through the drum so fabrics dry in expected cycles.
• Commonly replaces units that are visibly damaged, open on a continuity test, or causing no/low heat and long dry times.
• Works with the dryer's thermostats and cycling controls to maintain safe operating temperature.

• Disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle the heating element carefully—coils and ceramic mounts can be fragile.
• Check associated thermostats and fuses if symptoms persist after installing the heater.
