Whirlpool/Kenmore
4391960 Dryer Element

Here's
the very popular Whirlpool 4391960 electric dryer heating
element - ON SALE! Fits most 29 inch (wide) dryers made by Whirlpool,
including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Kitchenaid, Roper, and
Estate brands.
5400W
@ 240V, single coil (2 wire) element, the 'Long' one (as opposed to,
yep, the 'short' one - 279838 - those
are on sale too!)
This
'generic' element kit has been a good one for me for many years. Replaces
old numbers 279698, 279455 and a whole host of others. If you're in
doubt about your model number, drop
me an email and I'll make sure it fits yours. 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>.
Not
a tough job, and you'll find installation instructions here.
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
here
for help with getting the element out to look at its coil.
Whirlpool's current price for their version of this kit is over $48.00
(plus shipping - ouch!), but you don't have to
pay that. You don't even have to drive to a parts store. Stay
right there in your chair, and I'll have the mailman bring it right to
your door in 2-3 days Priority Mail (US addresses only), for just $7.50!
To
buy one immediately using Paypal (securely use your credit card), click the
button below. Current sale price is $23.50, so your total will be $31.00 delivered! I must say that's a hard price to beat, folks!
(You don't need a Paypal
account to pay with your credit card)
If you'd rather order by another method,
live outside the US, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me
Thank You!
