Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- No heat
- Insufficient heat
- Long drying times
- Damp clothes after a completed cycle
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
- Visually inspect the heating coil for a break or burn mark.
- Test the heating element for electrical continuity with a multimeter; an open circuit indicates a failed element, but continuity alone does not rule out other dryer faults.
- Check airflow and the thermal fuse before concluding that the heating element is defective.

Why does my dryer run but not heat?When your electric dryer runs and tumbles normally but produces no heat, the heating element is the most common cause. The heating element is a coiled resistance wire that glows red-hot to heat the air — when it burns out (the wire breaks), no heat is generated. Other possible causes include a blown thermal fuse (a safety device that cuts power to the element if the dryer overheats), a tripped high-limit thermostat, a faulty cycling thermostat, or a broken heating element relay on the control board. To diagnose: first check the thermal fuse for continuity — if it's open (no continuity), it's blown and needs replacement. If the thermal fuse is good, test the heating element — disconnect power, remove one wire from the element, and measure resistance across the two terminals. A good element reads approximately 10–11 ohms; an open reading (OL) means the element is burned out. Also check for a clogged vent — restricted airflow causes overheating, which blows thermal fuses and shortens element life.
