This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins normally but produces absolutely no heat — clothes remain cold and wet after a full cycle.

Insufficient Heat

Dryer heats weakly or inconsistently, requiring multiple cycles to dry a normal load of laundry.

Overheating

Dryer runs excessively hot due to a partially shorted element that heats continuously past the set temperature.

Extended Drying Times

Drying cycles take significantly longer than normal, suggesting the heating element is failing and losing wattage output.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Failed Dryer Heating Element

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

⚠️ Dryer runs but produces no heat at all — drum spins but air stays cold

⚠️ Clothes are still damp or wet after a full drying cycle

⚠️ Dryer overheats continuously — element partially shorted to case

⚠️ Dryer requires multiple extra cycles to fully dry a normal load

🔍 Technician Tip: Use a multimeter set to continuity mode. Probe each terminal of the element to the metal case. If you get continuity between a terminal and the case, the coil is shorted — replace immediately. Also check your thermal fuse first; a blown fuse is the #1 cause of no-heat and will burn out a new element if left unresolved.

Questions & Answers

Will this heating element fit my Whirlpool Duet WED72HEDW1 dryer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes — the 8544771 heating element is a confirmed fit for the WED72HEDW1 and a wide range of Whirlpool Duet models. Always verify by checking the model label inside your dryer door before ordering.
My dryer runs but there is no heat. Is this the right part to fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Possibly, but we recommend testing your thermal fuse first — a blown thermal fuse is the most common cause of a no-heat dryer. If the fuse tests good, then use a multimeter to check the heating element for continuity. If the element coil is open (no continuity) or shorted to the case, replace it with this part.
What are the wattage and voltage specs for this heating element?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This is a 5400-watt, 240-volt heating element. It is designed exclusively for electric dryers — it is not compatible with gas dryer models. Confirm your dryer is an electric model before purchasing.
Is this compatible with Kenmore and Maytag dryers, or only Whirlpool?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This element is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, and Inglis electric dryers that use the 8544771 / WP8544771 part number. Kenmore and Maytag models built on the Whirlpool platform share this same heating element assembly.
How difficult is it to replace the dryer heating element myself?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
This is an Easy-level DIY repair that typically takes 30–45 minutes. You only need basic hand tools: a Phillips screwdriver and needle-nose pliers. The element is secured by one screw and two wire connectors. No special skills or tools are required — most homeowners complete this repair on their first attempt.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
