279838 Dryer Heating Element
Electric dryers have a heating element that is a coil or wire to heat the air circulated by the blower in the dryer drum. It’s either behind the dryer drum or in the back panel of the appliance. If the dryer doesn’t heat during a cycle, that may be the source of the problem.

Our dryer stopped heating, originally we just replaced the fuse and it didn’t work, but we ordered this kit and replaced all the pieces and it worked perfectly!!!! So happy we didn’t have to call in someone to help, my husband was easily able to repair it!

When my dryer suddenly stopped working, I couldn’t figure out what the issue was. I watched several videos to troubleshoot and discovered that the problem was the heating element. I decided to buy this repair kit and give it a try, hoping it would work. To my surprise, it did! We now have our dryer back in action. The fix was much simpler than I anticipated, especially after following the instructions in the video. The kit includes several different parts, and my husband and I decided to go ahead and replace everything included in the kit to ensure everything was in top shape. It worked perfectly, and our dryer is as good as new! If you're looking to repair your dryer yourself, I highly recommend this kit, it has everything you need and saved us a lot of money on professional repairs.

worked for 3 weeks before the parts failed. Cheap Chinese Junk. The positive is it was a good troubleshoot but still had to buy the GOOD parts from MAYTAG in the end. As you can see a section of the new element overheated and sagged into another section of the element and blew apart. It’s a good thing All the lint was cleaned out of the dryer and the dryer vent or at the house would’ve burned to the ground.

I recently had to replace the heating element in my dryer, and the 279838 Dryer Heating Element was a perfect fit. It works with several brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore, which made it versatile for my needs. The installation process was straightforward, and the instructions were clear, making it easy even for someone without much experience in appliance repair.The heating element has been working flawlessly since the installation, restoring my dryer to its full functionality. It heats up quickly and evenly, ensuring my clothes dry efficiently. The quality of the materials seems durable, and I appreciate that it includes additional components like the thermal fuse and thermostat.Overall, this heating element is a great value for the price and has saved me from having to buy a new dryer. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a reliable replacement part.

Primero lo que noté es que la secadora se tardaba más en secar la ropa y segundo duró solamente 5 meses y se reventó!Mejor invertir en una pieza original que dure más tiempo. Vas a pagar más por la instalación
Excelente relación Calidad precio

My Maytag electric dryer stopped heating during the drying cycle. The machine powered on, the drum would spin but no heat. After watching all 3 relevant YouTube videos on the subject and receiving $150 quotes from local repairmen, I decided I'd take a shot at it myself. Changing a heating element or thermal fuse or any of the other components in the kit is fairly straightforward, and I would suggest replacing everything that the kit provides.I can't speak to the longevity or quality of the parts just yet, but it's a great start. I would recommend this to anyone who has a dryer that won't get hot.

This is the second one I’ve purchased Easy to install, but not quite like the original. Have to get mildly creative with the wiring. Anyhow, works fantastic, but not for long. Original lasted 5 years. Last one lasted just under 2 years. Better than buying a new dryer or calling a repairman. YouTube’s got you covered with this.
