Description

This 5100W heater element heats the dryer drum so clothes dry efficiently. Replaces a failed or burned heating coil to restore normal drying performance on compatible electric dryers. What it does

• Generates the heat needed to evaporate moisture from wet laundry.
• Commonly used when the dryer runs but clothes remain damp or drying takes much longer than normal.
• Can fail due to a broken coil, short, or open electrical connection, causing no-heat or intermittent heating.
• Works with the dryer's thermostat and cycling controls to maintain operating temperature.

What's included

• One 5100W heater element assembly.

Install notes

• Always disconnect the appliance from power before beginning any diagnosis or repair.
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending the coil or damaging mounting tabs.
• Verify continuity with a multimeter before and after installation; follow the dryer wiring diagram for correct connections.
• If heating issues persist after replacement, test thermostats, thermal fuses, and wiring for faults.
