Whirlpool WP279843 Genuine OEM Dryer Heating Element Assembly

The Dryer Heating Element generates the dryer's heat and is a replacement part for heating element coils that short out, causing your dryer to no longer produce the heat necessary to dry your clothes. If your dryer is not heating, check for a blown thermal fuse on the blower housing before replacing the heating element. This high-quality, durable replacement part is easy to install with basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver. It only requires some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Helpful Tip: The heating element and many other parts can be tested using a volt/ohm meter, which is a handy item to have in any do-it-yourselfer's toolbox.
