Description

This heater and thermostat assembly replaces the dryer's heating module to restore normal drying performance by regulating and producing heat. It's a direct-fit assembly designed to simplify replacement and reduce diagnosis time. What it does:

• Provides the dryer's primary heating element and temperature control components.
• Regulates operating temperature via built-in thermostats/thermal cutouts.
• Stops heating when a thermostat or thermal cutoff opens, which can cause no-heat or under-heating symptoms.
• Helps address common symptoms like no heat, long dry times, or intermittent heating when diagnosed to this assembly.

What's included: One heater and thermostat assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting service to avoid shock or injury.
• Carefully discharge any residual heat and avoid contact with sharp sheet metal and the heating element.
• Inspect and replace any blown thermal fuses or damaged wiring.
• Follow model-specific instructions and torque/electrical guidelines from the OEM during installation.
