This Part Fixes These Problems

No Heat

Dryer drum spins and motor runs normally but no warm or hot air is produced — the heating coil is burned out and must be replaced.

Takes Too Long to Dry

Clothes require two or more cycles to dry completely due to insufficient heat output caused by a partially failed element coil.

Dryer Runs Too Hot

A shorted element coil can bypass the cycling thermostat and cause the dryer to overheat, scorching fabrics or tripping the high-limit thermostat.

Repeatedly Blows Thermal Fuse

A failing element drawing excess current stresses the thermal protection circuit, causing recurring fuse failures even after replacement.

Burning Smell During Operation

Oxidizing coil wire or arcing at a break point in the element produces a distinct burning odor before the element fails completely.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Heating Element Has Failed

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

⚠️ Dryer runs and tumbles but produces absolutely no heat

⚠️ Clothes take multiple cycles to dry or come out still damp

⚠️ Burning smell or visible break/gap in the coil when inspected

⚠️ Dryer repeatedly blows thermal fuses or trips the circuit breaker

🔍 Diagnosis tip: Set your multimeter to the Ω (ohms) continuity setting and probe both terminals of the element. A functional element reads roughly 8–12 Ω. An open/infinite reading confirms the coil is burned out. Always check the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat first — a clogged vent is the #1 root cause of element failure.
