Part WP8544771
Purpose
Dryer heating element assembly to generate heat for drying cycles
Details
This genuine OEM heating element assembly includes the coil, housing, and insulators that produce the heat required to dry clothes. Installed in the dryer’s air path, it works with thermostats to maintain proper temperature. If the element fails—often indicated by no heat, long drying times, or a broken coil—replacing it restores proper heating functionality.
