This element is the source of virtually all the heat in the dryer: it converts electrical energy into heat, which the blower then circulates through the drum to dry your clothes. Even heat distribution from a properly functioning element is what keeps drying times consistent and prevents the dryer from having to run longer cycles to compensate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver years of use, the coil typically fails with a visible break somewhere along its length — a section simply burns through and the circuit opens, cutting off heat entirely. Symptoms of a failing element include clothes taking too long to dry, clothes coming out cold, or the dryer not heating at all. This part is also essential for preventing overheating, since a properly functioning element operates within its designed parameters rather than drawing excess current trying to compensate for a partial failure. It directly replaces W10608823.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eW11025156 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag electric dryers with no heat, insufficient heat, or drying times that have gotten noticeably longer.
