Genuine Midea heating element/heater assembly for compatible electric dryers; it produces the heat used during the drying cycle.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete appliance model number before ordering.

Common Symptoms

• Dryer runs but produces no heat
• Clothes still damp after a full cycle
• Dryer takes two or three cycles to dry a normal load
• Thermal fuse trips repeatedly (element shorted)
• Burning smell followed by sudden loss of heat

Check Before Replacing

• Test the heating element for continuity with a multimeter — no continuity confirms failure
• Check the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat — a blown fuse is often caused by a failed element
• Inspect and clear the exhaust duct — restricted airflow is the #1 cause of element burnout
• Verify the dryer is on a dedicated 240V circuit (electric models) — low voltage causes slow drying
