Electric Dryer Not Heating? Dryer Heating Element WP35001247 – Fix No-Heat Fast
A failed heating element is the single most common reason an electric dryer runs but produces no heat — the drum spins, the timer counts down, but clothes come out cold and wet. In most Whirlpool-built and Samsung electric dryers, this is caused by a failed heating element — the coiled resistance wire assembly that generates the heat needed to dry clothes. When it fails, the dryer runs a full cycle with no heat output, leaving laundry damp or completely wet. ⚡ Most common repair in Whirlpool, Samsung, Maytag, and Amana electric dryers. Part WP35001247 is the genuine OEM replacement heating element that restores full heat output immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dryer powers on and drum spins normally
- ✔ Timer and controls function correctly
- ✔ Thermal fuse has been tested and confirmed OK (or replaced)
- ✔ ONLY problem is dryer runs but produces no heat

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Dryer runs full cycle but clothes come out cold and wet
- Dryer produces no heat at any temperature setting
- Dryer takes multiple cycles to dry a single load
- Drum spins normally but no warm air is felt at the exhaust
- Thermal fuse blows repeatedly — often caused by a failing element
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this heating element restores full heat output immediately.

If the heating element burned out, the thermal fuse almost certainly blew at the same time — it's a one-time safety device that must be replaced whenever the element fails. Replacing only the element without checking the thermal fuse will result in a dryer that still won't heat. Replace both together for a complete repair. The thermal fuse for this dryer is part DC96-00887A (Samsung) or 3392519 (Whirlpool/Maytag).
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–45 minutes, basic tools required. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the dryer back panel to access the heating element housing. Disconnect the element wire leads, remove the mounting screws, and slide out the old element assembly. Install the new WP35001247 in reverse order, ensuring all wire connections are secure and the element coils do not contact the housing. Restore power and run a timed dry cycle to confirm heat output.

💡 Pro Tip
The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device — once it blows, it must be replaced. When a heating element fails, it almost always takes the thermal fuse with it. Ordering both parts together costs under $15 extra and guarantees a complete repair on the first visit. If you replace only the element and the fuse is blown, the dryer still won't heat and you'll be back inside the machine a second time.
