Part W11375548 Heating Element Assembly
Purpose
Provides the high-heat source for electric dryers.
Details
The W11375548 heating element assembly is a genuine OEM component used in select Whirlpool-family electric dryers (including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid and others). The element generates the heat required for drying by passing electric current through a coil housed in a protective casing. When the element fails—often indicated by no heat, very slow drying, or a “burnt” smell—it should be replaced with this correct OEM assembly to restore proper dryer heating and safe operation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
