Whirlpool WPY503978 Genuine OEM Dryer Heating Element

The Dryer Heating Element 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 as expected, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Consider replacing your current element with this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement. Note that we recommend first checking for a blown thermal fuse on the blower housing before replacing the heating element. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the appliance, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the dryer 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.
