WP3387749 Whirlpool Washer/Dryer Combo Heating Element

Washer/Dryer Combo Heating Element
This component is essential for generating heat in your laundry machine. If the element produces insufficient heat or none at all, it requires replacement.

The Heating Element is compatible with several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible elements for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. As an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it fits seamlessly into Whirlpool dryers. Positioned within the dryer drum, the element heats the air as it enters during the drying process.

Potential reasons for a malfunctioning heating element are varied. They can range from cracks or breaks in the coil wires, which diminish heat output, to damaged sockets that disrupt electrical flow, or even contamination that affects overall functionality.

Indications of a defective heating element include:

- Clothes remaining damp after extensive drying cycles
- Unusual burning odors coming from the appliance
- Error messages related to temperature regulation
- Inconsistent heating during operation

This authentic OEM part also works with specific models from KitchenAid and Kenmore.
