Sears Canada Heating Element

The Dryer Heating Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric dryers. This element provides critical heat to properly dry wet laundry loads. Consistent warmth throughout cycles is key to leaving clothes completely dry. This 5400-watt, 240-volt heating element heats the air circulating around the drum.

Causes of a bad heating element can include failure due to extended usage cycles over time, or mineral buildup inhibiting heat transfer. 

Symptoms of a faulty element include:

• Inability to reach or maintain desired drying temperature
• Wet or damp clothes after full cycles   
• Potential safety issues if element overheats
• Dryer not working or requiring excess cycles to dry

This OEM Whirlpool replacement element is also compatible with Kenmore, Maytag, Amana and Whirlpool brands.

This heating element generates the heat your electric dryer needs to dry laundry. Replacing a failed element restores consistent temperatures and helps resolve no-heat or long dry-time issues.

• Converts electrical energy into heat inside the dryer's heater assembly
• Typical symptoms of failure: runs but no heat, takes too long to dry, or clothes remain damp
• Visual clues can include a broken/burned coil or an open-circuit continuity test
• Restores proper drying performance when the original element has burned out

• Disconnect power before servicing; heating components operate at high voltage
• Access the heater assembly; note wiring and component positions for reassembly
• Handle the element carefully to avoid stretching or deforming the coil
• After replacement, clean the exhaust duct and check related thermostats/thermal cutoffs for continuity if heat issues persist
