The Dryer Heater Element Assembly is an OEM Replacement Part that is integral to the functioning of your Whirlpool dryer. It generates the heat necessary for drying clothes and measures approximately 11.7 x 10.7 inches. This assembly includes a housing with the heating element coil and attached insulators. It carries a voltage of 240 volts and features an orange dot on the element flange. The orange dot distinguishes it as a replacement for elements with the same marker.
If your dryer fails to produce heat, it's advised to check for a blown thermal fuse or thermal cut-out, as these issues often indicate a defective heating element. In many cases, a break in the coil element reveals a malfunctioning heating element. The assembly is designed for efficient performance, ensuring your dryer remains in optimal working condition. This OEM part is compatible with Whirlpool brands such as Amana and Maytag.
