This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins and timer runs but no heat is produced — clothes remain completely wet after a full cycle.

Not Enough Heat

Dryer produces only warm or lukewarm air; clothes take 2–3 cycles to dry fully.

Intermittent Heat

Heat starts normally then cuts off mid-cycle; dryer may restart heating on the next cycle but fails again.

Long Dry Times

Cycle times are excessively long and energy usage is high because the heater cannot maintain target temperature.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 5301EL1001A Dryer Heater Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsRated at 5400 Watts / 240 Volts with 2 × 5/16" male terminals — exactly matching the original LG factory spec for seamless drop-in installation.
🏗️
Premium Nickel-Chromium CoilHeating wire coil features ≥85% Ni-Cr content for superior heat transfer, longer service life, and consistent drying temperatures cycle after cycle.
📦
Complete Assembly — Nothing Else NeededShips as a full unit: heater housing, coil, 6931EL3001E 2-wire high-limit thermostat, and 6931EL3003D thermal fuse all pre-installed.
🔄
Wide Cross-Reference CompatibilityDirectly replaces AP4438941, PS3527788, 5301EL1001E, 5301EL1001G, AEG72910307, and 1377645 — covering dozens of LG and LG-built Kenmore electric dryer models.
⚡
2-Terminal Design (Important Note)This assembly uses a 2-terminal thermostat configuration. If your dryer's temperature control board has 3 terminals, consider the 5301EL1001H or 5301EL1001J variant instead.
🛠️
DIY-Friendly InstallationMost technicians and confident DIYers complete the full rear-panel access and element swap in 45–75 minutes using basic hand tools — no special equipment required.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm Your Heater Assembly Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Dryer runs normally but produces no heat — drum spins, timer counts down, but clothes stay wet

⚠️ Clothes take 2–3 cycles to dry fully, or only feel warm instead of hot at exhaust

⚠️ Heat kicks on then cuts off mid-cycle intermittently — points to a failed coil or tripped thermal fuse on the assembly

⚠️ Visible break or burn in the heating coil wire, or the thermal fuse tests open (no continuity) on a multimeter

🔍 Diagnostic tip: Set your multimeter to resistance (Ω) mode. Disconnect the red wire and measure from the red terminal to the yellow terminal — a healthy element reads approximately 10 Ω. Then measure red to blue for another ~10 Ω. A reading of OL (open loop) confirms a blown element or fuse. Always inspect the high-limit thermostat (6931EL3003D) and cycling thermostat (6931EL3001E) at the same time — a failed thermostat is often what caused the element to burn out in the first place.

📦 What's in the Box

✅ 1× Complete Heater Assembly (5400W / 240V, metal housing with Ni-Cr coil, pre-mounted 6931EL3001E high-limit thermostat and 6931EL3003D thermal fuse, 2 × 5/16" male terminals)

Questions & Answers

Is part 5301EL1001A compatible with my LG DLE5977W?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The DLE5977W is one of the most common models confirmed to use this heater assembly. Simply verify that your temperature control board uses a 2-terminal thermostat connection. If your control board has 3 terminals, you may need the 5301EL1001H or 5301EL1001J variant instead.
What is the difference between 5301EL1001A and 5301EL1001J?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
The 5301EL1001J is the updated OEM replacement for the original 5301EL1001A. Both assemblies are functionally interchangeable for most models. The key difference is the thermostat terminal count: 5301EL1001A uses a 2-terminal configuration, while 5301EL1001J and 5301EL1001H include a 3-terminal thermostat for newer model compatibility. Our aftermarket 5301EL1001A fits all applications where the 2-terminal design is appropriate.
What resistance should I measure on the heating element to confirm it is bad?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Using a multimeter in Ω mode, disconnect the red lead from the heater and measure red-to-yellow terminal: a healthy coil reads approximately 10 Ω. Measure red-to-blue for another ~10 Ω. An OL (open/infinite) reading on either test confirms the element coil is broken and needs replacement. Also test the thermal fuse on the assembly for continuity — a blown fuse (no continuity) will prevent the heater from ever energizing.
Does this part fit Kenmore dryers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes. Select Kenmore electric dryer models manufactured by LG use this same heater assembly. Common compatible Kenmore model numbers include 79681473210, 79661522210, 79669002000, 79669272000, and 79669272900. Always confirm your exact model number before ordering, as Kenmore produced dryers with multiple OEM suppliers.
Should I replace any other parts at the same time as the heater assembly?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Absolutely — it is best practice to inspect and replace related thermal safety components at the same time. The high-limit thermostat (6931EL3003D) and the cycling thermostat (6931EL3001E) are low-cost parts that often fail together with the heater or are the root cause of heater burnout. Replacing them together avoids a repeat no-heat call shortly after the repair. Our assembly already includes these thermostats pre-installed on the heater housing.
