Whirlpool/Kenmore
279838 Dryer Element
Here's a brand-new heating element for Whirlpool-built dryers, the
'short version' 5400W/240V element, part #279838. This is a 'generic'
replacement that has worked well for me for many years, and I highly
recommend it. And considering the $80+ that Whirlpool currently wants
for this element, you'll save some serious money here!
This
a popular element used in Whirlpool, Kenmore and some Kitchenaids, and
it's 'stupidly simple' to replace (I include instructions). Some of
the earlier part numbers this one replaces are: 8565582, 3403585,
3398064, 206115, and 197030.
If you're not
sure if this is the right one for your dryer, just drop me an
email with your model number and I'll research it for you. (I stock most
dryer elements. (The other ('long')
Whirlpool/Kenmore element is on sale too!)
Please note: if you aren't sure your element coil is burnt open, either
by testing it (with a meter or
240V test bulb)
or pulling it out and finding an open spot (these usually burn out near
the top), please don't order one of these until you've read
this page.
If you just can't figure it out, email
me with your dryer model number (inside the
door) and I'll be happy to help figure out what's causing the problem.
Even though it's the first thing
that comes to mind, there are several causes for a 'no heat' dryer in
addition to an open element, and I don't want you to buy parts you
may not need. Click

for help with getting the element out to look at its coil.
At
this price, it's a
good idea to keep one of these on hand if you're at all handy and enjoy
the affections of an admiring spouse (and clean laundry) <grin>.
Like oven bake elements, it seems like these always burn out on a
weekend or holiday when you need them the most!
So
save yourself some money and a trip to the parts store. Stay right
there in your chair and I'll have the mailman bring it right
to your door, anywhere in the US in about two days Priority Mail, for just
$10.00!
