These are located on the heating element and on the blower housing. I have included pictures of the common thermostats and fuses. Having proven that the circuit breaker is not blown and the heating element coil is not broken, it is time to look at the fuses and thermostats on the dryer. Continuity, however, still requires a visual inspection as broken coils may still touch when cool. “No continuity” indicates a bad heating element. You can use a multi-meter and check the continuity of the element. A close inspection is required as some breaks tend to hide among the coils. The dryer element is good if no break is detected. A bad dryer heating element will have a break in the coil. Heating element coils look like stretched out door springs. Be certain to disconnect power from dryer. Whirlpool usually locates the heating element on the back of dryer (must remove back of dryer) or under the drum (must remove front dryer). The next appliance part to check is the heating element, because it is easy to prove if it is good or bad with a visual inspection. A blown circuit breaker happens often enough to make it the first item we recommend checking when a dryer turns but does not heat. Resetting the circuit breaker fixes the dryer and you did not even get your hands dirty. A lightning strike nearby or power surge can cause one breaker to blow and not the other. Many dryer circuits have two circuit breakers installed to power the dryer. The dryer will turn if it is getting 110 volts, but it must be receiving 220 volts to heat. The one appliance part that is not on the dryer is a blown circuit breaker (located in your home’s main circuit breaker box). You will save time, energy, and money if you will take a few moments to prove exactly which part is bad before purchasing a replacement part. One of the appliance parts most of us suspect first is the heating element (see common Whirlpool elements below), but there are several other appliance parts on the dryer and one item that is not on the dryer that can produce the same symptom. Works great, was only getting low heat now the dryer runs like new.This is the most common symptom we hear on all brands of dryers. Great service again! The part is working well and I have not experienced the problems with multiple failures others have reported. Locally this was over 15 dollars! It is an exact replacement S & H is overpriced but it arrived quickly. I would expect it to perform as good as the OEM part. Great lower cost solution to Whirlpool thermal fuse. Works great quik delivery no excuses or delays For under $40 my old dryer now has new lease on life!īought to replace blown fuse works as expected price was right and McCombs is always quick with the shipping!
