Review on Revive Your Dryer With 279838 Heating Element Kit - Compatible With Kenmore, Whirlpool, Maytag, And More! by Mikey Shook

The parts on my dryer started to fail one by one and it was getting expensive just from piecemeal replacements, so I decided to replace the entire heating element and other electrical components for a full refresh. This kit included everything I needed. After checking to make sure this kit matched the parts I needed for my machine, I ordered it and installed it with no huge issues. There were some fit issues but that was mostly due to the dryer's other parts being a bit warped from 7 years of use. Some slight bending and muscling here and there , but it all eventually fit, and now my dryer works just as new! It's been a few months since replacing the parts and it's been running smoothly so far.Installation took a while but that was expected with so many parts to replace and with my dryer being in a really awkward position. I had a bit of advantage here too since I'm an electrical engineer, so it was all common stuff to me, but to someone unfamiliar to working with electrical components, it may take a bit longer to do. There are videos on youtube that can step you through the install.Note that upon using the dryer the first time, I recommend running it empty for a bit since the heating coil will smell (new resistors). After a few minutes of being on and heating up, the smell goes away.
