Whirlpool WP35001247 Dryer Heating Element OEM Part

Yes. Since I was replacing the heating element I decided to replace the fuses and thermostat. I ordered and installed the parts I purchased from Appliance Parts Pros and the dryer works great.

After watching several videos on You tube, I decided to diy repair. Originally, I ordered a complete heater assembly from the Samsung support parts system. After 10 days, they could not deliver, so I cancelled and ordered from Appliancepartspro.com. They did not have the complete assembly either, but did have the heater element and the two thermostats available and I reused the original housing. I also ordered a new drive belt since I was going to be tearing down anyway. I received the parts in about 5 days. Tear-down and assembly went pretty much as shown in the videos. There were a couple things I did a little different. First, at tear-down I marked the 6 wires connected to heater and thermostats with numbered tape tabs. I don't know how important their exact location is, but this way I was sure. Secondly, I am old and working on the floor is not so easy. So after moving the upper panel and removing the front panel, I replaced the 2 screws at the rear of the upper panel and secured the front of the upper panel to the side panels using Guerrilla Tape. Then I tipped the machine on its back using a piece of lumber or rug to protect the back. This made access to the remaining components a snap. Whether lucky or good, it fired up first try. Now wife's hero again!

I wrote down my model number, watched a video, ordered the parts, parts came quickly, installed the parts (at 4am before leaving for work!). Dryer back up and running! Shazam!

Took the dryer apart and found the heating coil broken. Ordered a new one, which came very quickly! Installation was super easy since I have had the drum out before to replace rollers. Maybe 15 minutes to disassemble, 15 to reassemble. Parts were a perfect fit.

I had no idea how to take this Maytag dryer apart to get at the heating element. AppliancePartsPros.com has an awesome video for a D.I.Y. repair job of this easy fix. Do yourself a favor and watch the repair video, it is very well explained on how to get the job done easily and correctly. It took me less than 30 minutes to take it apart and remove the heater assembly and I wanted to make sure I was ordering the exact type of parts to fix the problem. While you have it apart seriously clean it out the best you can. There is the heater element, thermistor and the thermal fuse on this heater unit. So I ordered all 3 parts to eliminate the possibility of having to take it apart again and replacing the thermistor and thermal fuse. It took less than 30 minutes to put it all back together and again that was easy to do. The dryer works like new again and the D.I.Y. fix saved me over a $1000 bucks for the cost of a new Maytag dryer. Thank you all at AppliancePartsPros.com for the awesome repair video and having the exact fit replacement parts. Sincerly; Jeff, Retired U.S.M.C. Veteran, OOO-RAH!
