Dryer heating elements produce the heat you need to dry your family's clothes and linens effectively. When the heating element breaks or shorts out, your dryer stops working or takes much longer than normal to complete a cycle. Luckily, replacing a faulty dryer heating element is simple and budget-friendly. The PartsBroz dryer heating element is a high-quality exact equivalent to part number 279838. It features a durable construction and works with several older Whirlpool models.
Installation Tips
Disconnect your dryer from its power source before starting the repair. You'll need a quarter-inch socket or wrench and a flathead screwdriver for this repair. Before disconnecting any wires, take a picture so that you know how to reconnect everything at the end. Replacement takes under 30-minutes to complete.

- Dryer won't produce heat
