So, if your element has failed, you are facing a relatively common problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repair is not an option, but you don&rsquo;t have to fork over money for a whole new dryer. Dryer heating elements can be replaced. In this article, we will look at the viability of replacement, the longevity of heating elements and what affects this, as well as buying and installing new elements.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-nutshell-ZQ36ty wp-block-lazyblock-nutshell\"><p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7d1b1;color:#575f60;font-size:18px\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"50\" class=\"wp-image-3497 eager-load\" style=\"width: 200px;\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20200%2050'%3E%3Crect%20width='200'%20height='50'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11.png.webp 600w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/nutshell1-11-300x75.png.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><br><strong>In general, replacing a dryer heating element is worthwhile.

Otherwise, you may end up causing an issue that cannot be so readily fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do Dryer Heating Elements Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a dryer heating element should last the same <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-long-ventless-dryers-last-warranty\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15500\">amount of time as a dryer<\/a>, which would amount to about <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-heating-element-how-long-last\/\">15 years, on average<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the dryer and lint traps are maintained and the appliance isn&rsquo;t used every day, it can last even longer than the average lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if the dryer isn&rsquo;t maintained and it gets used every day, the lifespan can be much shorter than the average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors to Consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cost of replacing the heating element will be in the same ballpark as replacing the dryer entirely, you may want to consider upgrading your dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it is unlikely that purchasing a new heating element itself will amount to the cost of buying a brand-new clothes dryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the price could reach the same amount if you factor in the cost of hiring someone to install the heating element, or the cost of tools to install it yourself. I will talk more about costs later in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason the Heating Element Stopped Working<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important thing to consider is why your heating element stopped working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your <strong>heating element is old<\/strong>, then the likely reason is that it simply stopped working. In these situations, it is reasonable to conclude that replacing the element will solve your problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the heating element burned out due to a <strong>faulty thermal fuse or a power surge<\/strong>, replacing the heating element alone won&rsquo;t work, as the element will just <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/dryer-heating-element-burning-out-common-causes\/\">burn out again<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also goes for <strong>user error issues<\/strong>, such as overloading the dryer, which results in issues with the machine&rsquo;s airflow. Heat builds up in the machine and the heating element burns out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer.jpg\" alt=\"Dryer full of clothes, Overloading the dryer\" class=\"wp-image-24036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Dryer full of clothes, Overloading the dryer\" class=\"wp-image-24036 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Dryer-full-of-clothes-Overloading-the-dryer.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, you will need to fix both the real issue at hand and replace the heating element, so you&rsquo;ll need to assess the total cost of both of those things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age of the Dryer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consider the age and worth of the dryer. If you have a <strong>really old dryer, then fitting it with a new heating element could be a waste<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are essentially putting a piece with a lifespan of 15 years into a device that only has a few months or years left in it. Rather put the money towards getting a new dryer altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you aren&rsquo;t able or willing to purchase a new dryer at the moment, you can still just replace the heating element alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is an investment worth looking into, as it would be a shame to replace one part of the dryer only to end up spending money on replacing the entire machine soon down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying a New Dryer Heating Element<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purchase Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, purchasing a dryer heating element costs about $60. Keep in mind that this amount includes only the part itself, no extra expenses. Overall, you can find dryer heating elements from $15-$215.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors Influencing the Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many factors that influence the price of a dryer heating element within the range I mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing is the <strong>brand<\/strong> of your dryer. You will need to buy a heating element that is compatible with your dryer, and every brand charges a different amount for a heating element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Cabrio Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07LG8QYFW?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ixQim3RxL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Cabrio Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" title=\"279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Cabrio Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ixQim3RxL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Cabrio Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" title=\"279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Cabrio Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor is the <strong>heating element&rsquo;s terminal size<\/strong>. The larger the terminal size, the larger the product, so the greater the cost will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heating elements can be made of different <strong>types of materials<\/strong>, which can result in different products having different price variations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, extra costs will affect the overall price as well. This includes the price of <strong>buying supplies<\/strong> to install the element yourself or the cost of <strong>hiring a professional<\/strong> to install it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Sells Replacement Elements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dryer heating elements can be purchased from several different popular furniture and hardware store chains, such as Walmart and Home Depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are typically able to buy them in-store at any of the locations that carry them. However, it appears that there are more options available online, as well as more places online that carry them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-amazonblock-Z2juhpw wp-block-lazyblock-amazonblock\">\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n\n            \n            \n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale aawp-product--css-adjust-image-large\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B07LG8QYFW\" data-aawp-product-id=\"7897\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"hvacbuzz-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"&#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\">\n\n    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span>\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07LG8QYFW?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"&#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/518xuf7m7ZL.jpg\" alt=\"&#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/518xuf7m7ZL.jpg\" alt=\"&#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n        <\/a>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n        <a class=\"aawp-product__title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07LG8QYFW?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" title=\"&#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">\n            &#12304;95% Nickel&#12305;279838 Dryer Heating Element for Whirlpool Kenmore Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Dryer Heating Element Parts Dryer Thermostat Thermal Fuse medx655dw1 500 600 70 80 Series Model 110 Dryer Part        <\/a>\n        <div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n            <ul><li>&#9989;[QUALITY GROWTH] Excellent heat-proof and abrasion-proof.

You will need to consider service fees on top of that when looking at having a professional come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether the rate is hourly or an upfront service charge, you should expect to pay an extra $100-$200, maybe even more, for service from a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros of Professional Installation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>You can be sure that the product will be installed correctly.<\/li><li>You don&rsquo;t have to deal with the hassle of trying to install it yourself.<\/li><li>Some professionals may even pick out the correct heating element for you.<\/li><li>They are more likely to spot an underlying problem that caused the element to break.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons of Professional Installation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It is often times more expensive than installing the product yourself.<\/li><li>There is always a possibility of something going wrong with the installation.<\/li><li>If the heating element wasn&rsquo;t the real problem, getting a new one installed may not fix your dyer issues, then you would have to pay a second service fee.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to DIY install a dryer heating element, but if you decide to do this you should do careful research and planning to ensure you do it correctly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To: Whirlpool\/KitchenAid\/Maytag Heating Element 279838\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rfDiR1DwAIo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most dangerous and difficult part of the installation involves working with electrical wiring at the back of the dryer, so if you aren&rsquo;t comfortable doing this, you shouldn&rsquo;t try it on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To install a dryer heat element, you will need a screwdriver, a socket wrench (make sure you find out what size your element requires), and of course a new element.
