The Heating Element Connecting Wire is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers, designed to provide a secure electrical connection to the dryer's heating element. This critical component ensures that the heating element receives the power it needs to generate heat for drying clothes.
Causes of a bad heating element connecting wire can include overheating, physical damage, or wear and tear over time. These issues can lead to a loss of connectivity, resulting in the heating element failing to heat up.
Symptoms of a bad Heating Element Connecting Wire include:
- The dryer not heating up despite having power
- Intermittent heating, suggesting a loose or faulty connection
- Unusual smells or signs of burning, indicating overheating or damage to the wire
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
