279838 Dryer Heating Element

Technical specifications:

Compatibility: An original replacement piece designed to fit a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and KitchenAid dryers.

Material: Heating coil made of high heat-resistant nickel-chromium alloy, mounted on an insulating ceramic frame provides superior protection against electrical contact and ensures balanced heat distribution.

Performance: It is characterized by high endurance, as it provides immediate thermal response and the continuous ability to reach the temperatures required to dry clothes efficiently.

How to use:

Working mechanism: This element converts electrical energy into radiant thermal energy; The cold air drawn by the fan passes through the heated coil, and is then pushed into the drum to dry the clothes.

Employment: It is used as a direct replacement if the inner wire of the coil burns or the ceramic insulator is damaged. It is installed inside the heating unit (Heating Assembly) behind the dryer, and it is always recommended to check the "thermal protection fuse" (Thermal Fuse) and associated thermostats when replacing this part, as damage to the element may be caused by the failure of those components to disconnect the current.
