Whirlpool Dryer Repair - Not Heating - Element 

Watched another guy on youtube and he literally tore the whole washing machine a part. Glad I found yours. Dryer is working fine!!

The most helpful video I found to figure out how to fix my KitchenAid dryer. Thank you.

Awesome video. This is the second time in 3 years that you have saved me expensive (and usually slow) repair fees. When the dryers working, mamma is happy and everyone is happy! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge!

Thank you! Probably about $350 worth of thanks! For $35 on Amazon.... ordered Sat, came Monday. Easy peesy. You’re the man!

Thank You for posting this video. It saved me a lot of money. I watched this and was able to do it all myself. It was the heating element. Again thank you very much.

Thank you for the video. I have a Whirlpool GEW9200LL1 and this video worked. There was an additional screw and bracket on the lint cover. I did not need to remove the first wire (was able to work around it). It looked like I might have to remove more wires from the heating element housing, but the piece does slide out like in the video. Glad I watched it.

Thanks dude. You saved me a lot of money twice in the last 5 year so far! Good job!

Thank you for this tutorial. I really do appreciate it.

This video was exactly what I needed, thank you. I found others that were calling for much more work.

Thank you SO much ApplianceVideo.com for posting this Whirlpool Duet Dryer Heating Element installation video! Everything you instructed to do was spot on!!! (And we once again have a dryer that heats!) REALLY appreciate it! :)

Your video was well made and informative, it assisted me in diagnostics and the replacement of my thermostat.

Thanks so much for this video! Perfect advice for my 8 year old Duet that stopped heating. I googled "whirlpool duet no heat" and found this video at the top of the list. Great stuff!

Awesome! Thanks to your instruction I completed the repair and probably saved a bundle. Thank you so much. You're bookmarked!

Thank you very much for this video...wish I had found it before struggling to remove the heating element for 30 minutes.

Thank you for the video! I was able to do it myself which was huge as I'm not a handy guy at all.

Thank you! You helped us fix our dryer and save money!

One of the best repair videos I've seen. Great job!

Ur video works for my duet ,thanks a lot

Thank you SO much for this! I was able to DIY because of this... much appreciated.

Yes, you are correct.

Fixed it right up. Thanks for the video!

Great video! Thanks

air fluff to test control board is a great tip. Thanks!

Yes , this model does have a tab that it slides into. You may have a different model. I suggest you get the exact model number of your unit and go to appliancevideo.com. You will see the exact breakdown of your model to see if it has a slot in it.

Very helpful although I think the camera should have covered the left side of the unit and also the step reattaching some parts was omitted. All minor....but one things wasn't, and that was the lint should have been cleaned out of everything before inserting the coil. BTW, would the units diagnostics isolate the problem? I have tried a couple of different buttons but no luck in getting diagnostics started. I wish the instructions were specific into which button one should use. Ps...one of the better DIY videos.

Just what I needed

Thank you very much for this video!

Good vid. Saved me some time and money. Thanks!

Thank you

Thanks man! Was able to find that broken element with no problems! Now momma can dry her clothes again lol

Thanks for the help!

Great Video. Quick question...my dryer is gas and not electric. Is there anything different I would need to consider? Gas is connected and all other gas appliances are still working great, so it is not a gas issue.

have a whirlpool combo LTE5243BWO and need to find location of heating element for replacement also was told locally the part is no longer available Tks for your time

where do I get the meter from? how much are they usually?

Hi Troy, I replaced the element but have no way to check continuity. There still isn't heat coming from the vent or in the tub. The old element had cracks in the flat housing but not the actual element so I replaced it anyway. How often does the board go out on these exact model dryers?

I took the whole housing out that the heater element slides into and am having a really hard time getting it back into the hole in the rear of the unit .. does that little tab go inside the rear housing ? It just falls out now and wont stay in .The elemt housing that is square in the front and round in the rear.

What are you using to remove the screws? Doesn't sound like a regular screwdriver. Seems like there will not be much room to move in there.

I have a Kenmore Super Capacity balanced drying system model 417. It kind of looks like the one in this video except I can't find the heating element. It looks like it is behind the drum. Any ideas?

What if I don't have continuity on operating thermostat. How do I repair that? And is it possible there is. It continuity on that AND the heating element. Or might I be testing it improperly?

Does this refer to model GEW9200LW1 model

Hi, pulled the bottom cover off, flame ignites and works fine for about 5-10min then the flame goes out. Whirlpool-Duet mod# is WGD9500TC2 I can't seem to find an exact video for it on your website, any ideas, thx?

I replaced the heating element, the fuse, thermostat, board, everything. Still no heat. What am I doing wrong? Drum runs, blower works, just no heat.

Troy i see error code fe279 on dryer what does it means?

Thank you for this! The worst part of the whole thing was getting out the 'tube-ish' casing that holds the thermostats & heating element (I've got an older Whirlpool Gold). It took three >10 minute wrestling matches to get the freaking thing out, & I couldn't see how it set in the flange at all. Testing thermostats & heating element, ID'ing the problem, ordering & replacing the parts took maybe 8 total minutes. Now I can't get the bloody blasted frigging piece of filth back in. Anyone got any hints as to how to get the $@^$%@&*ing thing back?? I'd REALLY hate to spend mover $100 to have someone in to just put that one piece back!! update: never mind. I absolutely refused to disassemble the ENTIRE freaking dryer to put that part in*, so I ended up bending down the little, semi-circular tab which went into the flange at the back. Since the whole assembly is held in place with 2 screws on the brace in front, it hasn't made a bit of difference. And my obnoxious neighbor swore I'd never be able to fix my dryer, because he couldn't figure it out. HA HA HA, pbthbthbththth!! . *reminded me of the Fiat Spider I used to have, where you had to pull the engine block just to replace the spark plugs.
