Unlike single-coil elements that run at one fixed wattage, this element uses two separate nickel-chrome alloy coils wound on the same frame. One coil handles the lower heat settings while both coils fire together for high heat, giving the dryer true variable temperature control instead of cycling a single coil on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis dual-coil design is specific to certain Cabrio-platform dryers and is not interchangeable with other common Whirlpool heating elements such as 279838 or 8544771. When either coil fails, the dryer may lose heat entirely or heat only on certain settings. The WP8573069 is the complete element assembly — coils, frame, and insulators — ready to install in about 30 to 60 minutes with basic hand tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#1d4ed8\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"vertical-align:-2px;margin-right:4px;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14.7 6.3a1 1 0 0 0 0 1.4l1.6 1.6a1 1 0 0 0 1.4 0l3.77-3.77a6 6 0 0 1-7.94 7.94l-6.91 6.91a2.12 2.12 0 0 1-3-3l6.91-6.91a6 6 0 0 1 7.94-7.94l-3.76 3.76z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Will This Fix My Dryer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGenuine OEM WP8573069 Heating Element\u003c\/strong\u003e is the correct replacement when your Whirlpool or Maytag electric dryer produces no heat, only heats on certain settings, or takes far too long to dry clothes.

The dryer controls temperature by cycling the element on and off. A dual-coil element like the WP8573069 has two separate coils, allowing the dryer to run one coil for low heat or both coils simultaneously for high heat. This gives smoother and more precise temperature control.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use this element in a gas dryer?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eNo. This is a 240V electric heating element designed exclusively for electric dryers. Gas dryers use a burner assembly with an igniter and gas valve, which are completely different components.

A clogged lint filter, kinked exhaust hose, or blocked exterior vent forces the element to run hotter and longer than designed, which accelerates coil fatigue. A failed cycling thermostat that does not shut the element off at the correct temperature can also shorten element life. When replacing the element, always clean the full vent path and check the thermostat.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eIs part number 8573069 the same as WP8573069?\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes.
