{"product_id":"279838-ge-dryer-heating-element-we11m10001","title":"Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element 279838","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dryers. This part is responsible for generating the heat necessary to dry clothes efficiently. The heating element works by electrically heating a coil or a wire to a high temperature when power is applied, radiating heat throughout the dryer drum to evaporate water from the clothes.\n\nCauses for the heating element to fail can vary but often include overloading the dryer, which restricts airflow and can cause the element to overheat and burn out. Another common cause is age; over time, the constant heating and cooling can lead to metal fatigue and eventual failure of the element. Additionally, poor ventilation and lint buildup can cause the dryer to overheat, damaging the heating element.\n\nSymptoms of a bad heating element include:  \n\n\n\tTaking a long time to dry clothes or not drying completely\n\tNo heat produced by the dryer during cycles\n\tTripped circuit breaker or blown fuse after drying\n\n\nNote: has 2-5\/16\" male terminals.\n\nThis OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore\/Sears brand appliances.This part fixes the following symptomsNo heat or not enough heatDoesn't shut offTouchpad does not respondPart Number\n            279838 (AP3094254)\n                          replaces\n             279837, WP279837, 2438, 279838A, 279838VP, 3398063, 3398064, 3403585, 8565582, AH334313, EA334313, PS334313, W10724237.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whirlpool","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48138390372519,"sku":"279838","price":65.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0416\/4007\/files\/ap3094254.jpg?v=1769896307","url":"https:\/\/theacoutlet.com\/products\/279838-ge-dryer-heating-element-we11m10001","provider":"The AC Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
