Discovering the right replacement parts for your Whirlpool dryer can make all the difference in maintaining its efficiency. Here are some frequently asked questions to help guide you through the process of replacing your Whirlpool dryer heater.
If your dryer is not heating properly, taking longer than usual to dry clothes, or if you notice a burning smell, it may be time to replace the heating element. Testing the element with a multimeter can confirm if it's faulty.
First, unplug the dryer. Remove the back panel and locate the heating element. Disconnect the wires and screws holding the element in place. Replace with the new element, reattach the wires and screws, and reassemble the dryer.
The cost of a replacement heating element typically ranges from $30 to $100, depending on the model. Labor costs may add additional expenses if a professional installation is required.
