Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dryer runs but produces no heat.
• Clothes take unusually long to dry because heating output is absent or reduced.
• Dryer temperature remains below the expected operating range.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before inspecting the heater assembly.
• Verify that the appliance is an electric dryer and that the replacement part matches the appliance model and existing heater configuration.
• With power disconnected, visually inspect the accessible heater assembly for a visibly broken coil, burn damage, or damaged terminals.
• If qualified to use a multimeter, test the heater circuit for continuity only after the dryer is fully de-energized; an open circuit can indicate a failed element, but other dryer components may also cause a no-heat condition.
• Check that the dryer vent and lint path are not obstructed, since restricted airflow can contribute to poor drying and overheating and may not indicate a heater failure.
