Whirlpool Dryer Two Level Heat Element Assembly WPW10044520, Replaces W10044520

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dryer tumbles but laundry remains damp after a heated cycle.
• Dryer produces no heat on a heated timed cycle.

Check Before Replacing

• Select a heated timed cycle—not Air Only/Air Fluff—run the empty dryer for 5 minutes, then carefully check whether the drum interior is warm.
• For an electric dryer, confirm both dryer circuit breakers are on; a dryer can tumble while having no heat if one side of the 240 V supply is lost.
• If the dryer does heat but drying is slow, inspect the exterior vent outlet for weak airflow or blockage and have the vent path cleaned as needed.
• Disconnect power before inspecting connections or performing any meter-based component testing; use the exact model’s service information or a qualified appliance technician for electrical diagnosis.
