Replacing the heating element in a Whirlpool dryer is a relatively simple task that can be completed in about an hour. A heating element is a crucial component of a dryer; it generates heat to dry clothes. A damaged heating element can cause your dryer to take longer to dry clothes or even stop working altogether.
If you’re experiencing problems with your Whirlpool dryer, one of the first things you should check is the heating element. You can do this by unplugging the dryer and removing the back panel. Once you have access to the heating element, you can visually inspect it for any damage. If the heating element is burned out or broken, it will need to be replaced.
