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

This poly-V blower belt links the motor to the blower wheel to move air through the appliance. Replacing a worn or broken belt restores proper airflow and helps maintain reliable drying/venting performance. What it does:

The Drying Rack is an OEM part for Whirlpool steam dryers. It provides a flat, stable surface for drying clothes during steam cycles. As steam rises through the rack, it penetrates fabrics to release wrinkles faster while retaining moisture for a smoother finish. 

Symptoms of a bad drying rack include:

• Items not drying properly or evenly during steam cycles
• Excessive wrinkling or fabric deformation 
• Shorter fabric life due to over-drying
• Lack of steam penetration and wrinkle release 

Causes of drying rack failure can be cracking or warping of the plastic rack surface over multiple heat cycles. Mineral buildup from hard water may also reduce steam penetration.

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