The Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This part is responsible for generating the heat necessary to dry clothes efficiently. The heating element works by electrically heating a coil or a wire to a high temperature when power is applied, radiating heat throughout the dryer drum to evaporate water from the clothes.

Causes for the heating element to fail can vary but often include overloading the dryer, which restricts airflow and can cause the element to overheat and burn out. Another common cause is age; over time, the constant heating and cooling can lead to metal fatigue and eventual failure of the element. Additionally, poor ventilation and lint buildup can cause the dryer to overheat, damaging the heating element.

Symptoms of a bad heating element include:

• Taking a long time to dry clothes or not drying completely
• No heat produced by the dryer during cycles
• Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse after drying

Note: has 2-5/16" male terminals.

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

This part fixes the following symptoms

• No heat or not enough heat
• Doesn't shut off
• Touchpad does not respond

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Flame to dry clothes would go out after about a minute and wouldn't reigniteWendell M. • Brown Deer, WI • June 19, 2014

I'm starting with a quick background on my dryer. About 18 months ago the belt on the dryer started slipping and squealing. I had a can of belt dressing spray so I popped the top open and sprayed the belt. It actually worked for about a year before it started squealing again. For the next 6 months I had to spray it more and more often. Then the clothes stopped drying. Obviously, at this point, I had to get off my lazy ass and fix the dryer. Searched my dryer's model number on the internet and... Read more
