Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ 279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool, Kenmore Dryer - Replaces Part # 8565582, AP309425, 3398064, 3403585, PS334313 by Jason Unruh

4200w - not 5400w in product description

Dislikes: It was advertised as a 5400w replacement for spa part number 8565582. When I checked the resistance of the new part, it was 12.6 ohms, which is 4200 watts (at 230 volts), so significantly less than the original factory part. In the original work part/wiring diagram, a heating element resistance of 9.8 ohms is specified, which corresponds to 5400 watts (at 230 volts). How: It was cheap, looks like the picture in the listing. Update: I ordered another part from Revain. (was in the same price range) and he tested the correct 9.8 ohms. so I sent back less power.

Pros
  • Trial version for one year
