Choice 279838 Dryer Heating Element - Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Roper Dryers
Product Description
Restore your dryer’s heating performance with the Replacement 279838 Dryer Heating Element from Parts-O-Matic. This high-quality replacement heating element assembly replaces the Whirlpool WP279838, designed for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Roper, and other brand dryers with a top lint filter. Made of durable metal and ceramic with a nickel-chromium coil, it produces 5400W at 240V to heat air for efficient drying. It fixes issues like no heat, insufficient heat, long drying times, or clothes remaining damp.
Note: Includes partial housing; transfer the high-limit thermostat from your old assembly. Inspect thermostats and thermal fuses for continuity, as they often fail alongside the element. Test the coil with a multimeter before replacement to confirm failure. Clean lint from the dryer to prevent overheating.
