Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Wire, Harness, Power Cord

The Heating Element Connecting Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, designed to provide a secure electrical connection to the dryer's heating element. This critical component ensures that the heating element receives the power it needs to generate heat for drying clothes. 

Causes of a bad heating element connecting wire can include overheating, physical damage, or wear and tear over time. These issues can lead to a loss of connectivity, resulting in the heating element failing to heat up. 

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element Connecting Wire include:

• The dryer not heating up despite having power
• Intermittent heating, suggesting a loose or faulty connection
• Unusual smells or signs of burning, indicating overheating or damage to the wire

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Includes screws and wire connectors. For the complete terminal block kit use 279320.
