Whirlpool Washer Heating Element

The HEATER is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. It raises water temperature during heated cycles for effective cleaning. 

This wash heater element features carefully engineered heating coils and wiring to heat incoming tap water. Elevated temperature boosts the performance of detergent formulations to cut through tough stains on clothes and bedding.

Causes of a bad washer heater can include cracked or broken heating coils, loose connections to internal wiring, or accumulated limescale buildup inhibiting heat transfer.

Symptoms of a bad Heater include:

• Inability to reach or maintain desired water temperature 
• Fluctuations in water heat during cycles
• Reduced cleaning effectiveness on heavily soiled items
• Error messages related to abnormal temperature readings

This part is also compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Kenmore washing machines.

This heater is the electric heating element that warms air or water so your appliance reaches the proper operating temperature. Replacing a failed heater restores normal heating performance and helps cycles finish correctly. What it does:

• Generates heat needed for normal drying or wash cycles
• Allows the appliance to reach and maintain operating temperature
• Common symptom: appliance runs but does not heat or takes much longer to finish
• Common symptom: cycles complete without expected temperature or sanitizing action

• One replacement heater element

• Turn power to the appliance off at the breaker before starting any repair
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals
• Follow the appliance service manual for panel removal and wiring re-connection
