The Dryer Heating Element Assembly generates heat in the appliance during the drying cycle. If your dryer isn’t heating properly, check for a blown thermal fuse or thermal cut out. If you see a break in the coil of your appliance’s heating element, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dryer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dryer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
