Electric Dryer Heater Elements
We carry genuine OEM dryer heating elements for your GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Maytag, Samsung, and LG dryer as well as other brands. Testing a dryer heater element is easy - a good element will have a closed circuit when checked with a multimeter across the terminals. A bad element will often have a visible broken coil.
To find the right element for your dryer, enter your model number in the search bar. You can also contact us and we'll look up the correct element.
Fixing a dryer heater element is typically done by replacing the element. In some cases, repairing the dryer heater element is possible by replacing the internal element - but this is rare. Generally it's less expensive and easier to replace the entire heater assembly.
Dryer parts are unique to a brand regardless of where you bought them from. If you bought your dryer from Lowes, Sears, Home Depot or any other appliance retailer, we likely can get the part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the model number of my dryer?
Dryer model numbers are usually located on a sticker around the door opening. It is visible when you open the door.
How do I know if my dryer heating element is bad?
Dryer elements are easy to diagnose with a multimeter. To test a dryer element, check for continuity (closed circuit) across the terminals. The resistance reading should be nominal (0-20 ohms) although that may vary.
A broken wire also indicates a bad element - no need to test if you see a broken wire.
If your dryer heating element has continuity, test the thermostats next
Will my clothes dryer run if the heating element is bad?
Yes, your dryer may run if the element is bad. There will just be no heat.
I have an old dryer - is it worth replacing the heater element?
Most likely it will be cheaper to repair a dryer with a new element than replace the dryer.
Let customers speak for us
Great price, fast shipping. Wifey started baking 2 minutes after sliding the wall combo back into the cabinet.
The knob was the perfect fit and color. Very please with prompt shipment and price.
It was a perfect fit and easy replacement
I was looking many places for a replacement set of stovetop knobs. These fit perfectly and arrived quickly and are O.E.
All went well and the filter was easy to install. Dishwasher still a bit smelly, however. It's old.
I had a great experience ordering, receiving and installing replacement parts for my Jen Air Gas Cooktop cartridges. I was able to search easily on their website. Places my order and received my parts so quickly. I ordered the parts and received them within just a couple days and I live in Massachusetts. My parts arrived in pristine condition and the replacement instructions were easy to follow. I was able to install them within minutes and now my stove looks brand new!! All my burners work great. I haven’t been able to use all four of my stove top burnings in years. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving and being able to cook everything at the same time!! Highly recommend this company. I will be ordering more parts from them in the future!
I love dealing with VSS for my KitchenAid parts. They use OEM parts at a very reasonable price.
I should have sent an email earlier….
Just want to thank you for helping me with the repair of my 15 year old GE monogram ice maker. You pointed me in the right direction on the pump and the ice melting grid and it is back up and running like brand new!
So THANK YOU! Cheers to you for making my wife and I extremely happy!
This dryer felt seal fit perfectly on my Maytag MDE2400AYW dryer. It was a little tight at first and took some light stretching and manipulating to get it on just right but once on, it fit snugly. You'll also want to replace the 2 upper plastic/nylon tabs which I think are called drum support bushings (WP35001073) which help keep the drum from rubbing against the felt seal. I also replaced the plastic bushing shaft (WP35001012) since it helps keep the drum centered and stable. Now my dryer works like new, is much quieter, and dries clothes much quicker than before.
The Kitchenaid hub cover was perfect. It fit as it should and was of high quality. Much more inexpensive than other sites.
Although, it seems pretty easy to take Auger out, but it is a challenge, i tried different ways, buying special tools but nothing worked, watched different youtube videos, but nothing worked, end up, cutting with angle grinder, pieces by pieces to remove from washing machine, installing New Auger was easy. worked fine.
This part was exactly like the original that was 30 years old before it broke, so I'm hoping I will not have to replace it again. There were many on Amazon but I could tell they were Chinese knockoffs. Shipping was fair through USPS, but when I tried to order some more parts, I wasn't given the option for USPS and the other shippers were far more expensive.
Excellent OEM Parts! I replaced 2 knobs and they work perfectly. You just line up the flat spot on the knob and push them on. Thank you, Virginia Services Supply!
Fit perfectly. The dishwasher only came with one small basket and this second basket that I ordered fit side by side with the original one giving much more capacity for holding silverware.
