This part is a heater, but may also be known as a heating element, and it is meant for your dryer. This is where the heat is generated during your machine cycle in order to properly dry your clothing. This model is a 5500 watt, and has three coils. If your heater is broken, that usually means there is a break in the coil element.If you are having trouble drying your clothes, you may want to check for a thermal cut out or a blown thermal fuse. For this repair you will need a number two square bit, a Phillips screwdriver, and a flat-head screwdriver.

Relatively easy installation - worked first time.
The part arrived complete ready to install. The level of packing and cushioning in the box was minimal and could have been improved.
Installation was mostly straightforward, however, the single screw attaching the rear of the cylinder to the dryer body is awkwardly positioned, and too long for the space left for access. The hole left for the screw is at a poorly considered position. The dryer bodywork is domed out to provide access for a short screwdriver, but then the screw provided is too long, counteracting the effort to provide access.
Simply switching to a shorter length screw would help installation and speed up the process, without compromising performance, in my opinion.

Dryer heating element.
When the part finally arrived it worked. It took 8 days to get here and it's less than 800 miles.Parts select needs to find someone other than federal express. More like pony express.

Part was fine. Service was not.
We paid for 2 day shipping and received the part almost a week later. I emailed the company for a refund on the shipping and did not get a response.

Excellent customer service
I needed my part immediately. I called and it was on back order and would take several days to receive. The customer service rep, sorry I can't remember her name, placed me on a brief hold. She came back on the line and said she found the part at another warehouse and it would be here in a couple of days. Went above and beyond what I expected. Was exactly what I needed, no return or hassle. Will order everything or anything I need from them.

Not a big job.
Ordered a cheap one from another company. Lasted a few weeks. This one seems so much better built

E64 Error
We followed a YouTube video and did the repair ourselves over an afternoon. We had one screw leftover (?) but everything went back together and now the dryer works like a dream! We bought a PartSelect part because we don't want to have to do this very often! ??
followed the instruction on you tube, the part was exact, there was nothing to guess, basically you take the whole front off of the dryer, that in itself is easy (follow instructions), once you get to the element, just plug and play. the worst part was a set screw in the back that did take some patience, but finally did get it in. I am
... Read morenot a mechanic in the least, trust me, if I can do it then anyone can. you will need regular Philips screw driver and one short one, really short, mine is about 2 inches in length, also I used manual one, allot of plastic, so I would not recommend electric drill or electric driver. also a good pair of plyers, but small not large.

Dryer error code e64, could it be the high temp switch or limiter
For model number EIED55HIW0
Hi Jeff, great question. If your dryer is displaying error code E64 that indicates there is a problem somewhere in the heating element circuit. Start by unplugging your appliance, and then checking the wiring between the heating element and the control board. If any connections are loose make sure you secure them, and if the wire harness is damaged that will need to be replaced. You will then want to inspect the heating element for damage, if there is no visible damage it can also be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. When testing if it is electrically open it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please let us know!

My fridgidaire affinity dryer gives error code e64 but it does heat fine. The dryer vent was cleaned and it still shuts off before the clothes are dry. If i clear the error and restart it continues to heat and dryer. If it is heating ok would it be the heating element? Thank you
For model number FASE7073LW0
Hi Brad, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Had error code e-63 so i replaced the heating element. Now have e-64 code. Dryer works for a few minutes then shows e-64. I can restart and it will heat and run for a few more minutes the code again.
For model number EWMED65IRRO
Hello David, thank you for your question. The error code E64 means Heater Open Circuit. This error appears when the Heating element or wiring to the heating element is defective. To clear the error code press and hold the far left key under the display and “cancel” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. If the error appears again then you’ll need to check heater coils and connections for open circuits. I hope this helps!

How do you properly check for and open circuit with your meter when receiving an e64 code on your Frigidaire affinity dryer?
For model number FASE7073NA0
Hi Andres,
Thank you for your question. If your element is showing anywhere between 0 and 50 ohms of resistance when you test it. That would mean that it is working. If you see anything else, then your part will have to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer shut-off and said call service. Looked online and found how to read error code. Showed error 63 heating element. Took unit apart, tested thermostats and thermal fuse, all tested 0 0hms. Tested heating element, 2 coils read 27 ohms, 1 coil read .51(point 51) ohms. Would this indicate that the element is bad.
For model number 417.81100000
Hi Alan, thank you for your question. The heating element should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. So by your 51 ohms reading, it is likely your element is the issue. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. Good luck with your repair.

Error code E63
Hi Mario,
Thank you for your question. That error code means that you are having an electrical issue with either your heating element or the wiring. I would suggest testing your heating element with a multi meter before anything and checking to see if it is working correctly. If it is then you may have to look at your ground wiring. Good luck with your repair.

Hi, I am receiving an error code E9 on my dryer. We have replaced the heating element maybe year and a half ago can this go out again so soon?
For model number FFSE5115PA0
Hi Tanya,
Thank you for your question. Sometimes it can. I would suggest testing it with a multi meter to see if it is indeed your issue. It should read between 0 - 50 ohms to be working correctly. If that part is fine, then it may actually be your electronic control board that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Error 64 - upon examining the heating element found a piece of the coil in the bottom of the element housing, it was not connected to the coil. I cannot see a break in the coil because i can't extract the coil part from the round metal housing around it. It is connected to wires. I'm assuming that the piece of coil i found must have broken off from the coil body and that would be the reason for the error code. Would you agree? Or do i still need to check for connectivity?
For model number EIMED55IIW0
Hello Paula, Thank you for your inquiry. From your description, it does sound like the heating element as error code E64 indicates a heating issue. Hope this helps!
