Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ High-Quality 279838 Dryer Heating Element Kit - Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and More by Mario Portillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Now it's official with the spare parts

UPDATE: Mid-December this exchange failed, so 0.9 months? Maybe I got a bad one. I'm ordering another one as it's cheap and I don't want to look for an alternative just before Christmas. If this second one fails within two years, I will write a follow-up update. Fingers crossed. Same failure mode as the original, looks like the coil section has become brittle and broken. With the replacement of the heating coil I replaced every single part of my 20 year old Whirlpool dryer. All in all I spent maybe $100 on it and none of the fixes took more than a few hours. I can say with confidence that as long as I get the parts, this dryer will stay with me forever. That's a good deal. The thermostat and thermal fuse are sold separately but are included, so you can replace most of the heating circuit for $30 (the thermostat will fail sooner or later). early.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
