Dryer would not produce heat to dry items
Looked up dryer by serial number on the internet. Watched the video on the website very easy installation. Ordered the part it came in within 2 days. Opened the top of the dryer with a 10 in one tool (like a putty knife). Took out the out defective parts by unscrewing the thermostat took wires off the old part and put them on the new part not to confuse wires. Did the same with the heater element installed the new parts. Very simple. If I had to call a repair person it would have cost 3 times as much as the part alone.

No heat when drying clothes
First let me say that the video provided was wonderful, I followed the instructions on the video, & it worked great, no problems at all. Saved me from paying huge costs from a repairman.

The dryer just stoped heating
MY SON Chris unpluged the dryer.than opened the top of the dryer and used a screw driver to unscrew the thermo cuppler and moved it over so he could get to the heating element .he than used a screw driver to take out the screws holding on the old heating element and than he put on the new one.he than put all the screws back in the thermo coupler and closed down the top of the dryer. he than pluged the dryer back up and turned on the dryer .it took about 1 hour to do it all. and i'm proud to say it works wonderfully.

Drum would rotate NO HEAT
Had to lift the top with a screw driver. Unplugged dryer. Removed 4 different wires from heating element. Unscrewed with socket wrench screws that are small becareful not to drop. Replaced with new heating element and there you go. I had to reset at my fuse box as well. I was overjoyed that I didn't have to go buy a new dryer so close to the Holidays!! Hopefully it will work for another 10 years. Thanks!!

Heating Element
It took longer to gather the tools vs changing the part. I was unsure how to start. Once I got started it was very easy it took 5 minutes.

Dryer would not heat
Tilt dryer top. Inspect damaged part(s). In my case it was the high-limit thermostat; but since the dryer is old, I ordered the heating element kit. The thermostat is included. Disconnect wires from thermostat and remove. Disconnect wires from element and remove. Carefully install new element and reconnect wires. Same for thermostat. Dryer works fine. Also, delivery time was one day. Thank you Partselect.

My dryer was still running but the clothes were not drying. Since I didn't know if it was the heating element or the thermostat, I ordered the part that includes both.
My son actually did the repair when he was over here and said it was so easy, even "Mom" could've done it! He said all he did was unscrew one little screw, life out the old part, drop the new part into that slot and replace the screw! It's the easiest repair I've ever heard of! Thank you....I will definitely order parts from your company in the future. Fast shipping too!!

Dryer won't heat
Contrary to instructions that I found on the web, the element is not accessed through the back. Pop the top of the dryer up and the element is visible in the top of the back . Pretty easy job.

I need to replace the heating element on my Crosley dryer. The instructional video (which is great!) shows the thermostat being replaced also. Does the thermostat come with the heating element part or is that ordered seperately? Is it necessary to replace the thermostat when replacing the heating element?
For model number cde6000w
PartSelect logo
Hello Judy, thank you for your question. Yes, the two parts come together. You would get the Heating element assembly with replacement high limit thermostat. I hope this helps!

If i should order the heating element and it dont solve the problem would the item still be returnable?
For model number pye2000ayw
PartSelect logo
Hi Jack, thanks for your question. I just cross-referenced your part with your model number and this heating element (PS2162280) is compatible with your dryer. If it doesn't solve the problem, you may also want to take a look at our repair help section to determine what other parts may be malfunctioning and causing this symptom. Unfortunately electrical parts which show signs of being installed or used cannot be accepted for refund under any circumstances. I hope this helps, and good luck with your repair.

Hi Asbury, Thank you for the question.I suggest testing or replacing the Door Switch.This dryer door switch contains three metal terminals. It is a simple on/off mechanism that prohibits the dryer from operating when the door is open.Hope this helps!

The dryer has warm air but not hot. I checked and only half the coil "glows" the temperature is set to high. I have 240 volts. I have continuity on the coil and thermostat. I was planning on changing the element or is there something else i should look at?
For model number PYE2300AYW

Hi Rick, Thank you for your question. You may also want to check your control thermostat and both of the thermal fuses in your appliance as well. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi, I have an Admiral dryer cemma I had a friend get one of those continuity testers and contested and it showed the heating element was out. But when I search the part on any website it shows a thermostat included I can't find the heating element separately. Does this Mean the thermostat is also out? Should I have my friend come test the thermostat separately? Or does this mean they just come as an assembly kit and I can replace the heating element therefore sitting on the new thermostat to use if needed down the road? Very confusing!!
For model number LNC7766B71
PartSelect logo
Hi Elsa, thank you for your question. The heating element kit, part number PS2162280, comes with a thermostat. The heating element is not sold separately. The kit includes the heating element and the thermostat. You can test the thermostat for continuity and if it is working, then you may only need to replace the heating element. We hope this sorts out your problem!

I'm getting no heat at all on Maytag. I assume it's the element. So should i do more than just replacing the element?
For model number HYE3658AYW

Hello Steven, thank you for your question. It would not be a bad idea to test the thermostats in the unit to rule them out before purchasing and replacing the element. I hope this helps.

Electric dryer does not heat at all, spins, blow air out of exhaust but does not heat
For model number ade7000ayw

Hello J, thank you for your question. This gas dryer could be having an issue with the M Series New Style Coil Kit Part Number: 279834, Radiant Flame Sensor Part Number: WP338906 ,or Igniter with Wire Harness Part Number: WP31001556. We would recommend testing/replacing those parts first. I hope this helps!
