- Upgraded 279838-Dryer-Heating-Element-W10724237 fit for Whirlpool Kenmore 70 80 Series Cabrio Roper Maytag Amana Admiral Roper Dryer Heating Element Dryer by AMI PARTS

A perfect fit, my dryer runs great again with a fraction of the cost

Came with everything pictured was SUPER EASY to replace. Works as it should. Only took about 15 mins to burn off new smell and it didnt linger on clothes.

Perfect direction factory replacement that had all additional fuses and parts listed, worked excellently!!!

As others have reported, the replacement heating element stopped working after a few weeks. But I'm here to tell you EXACTLY what the problem is. 1. The resistance coil is attached to a metal plate that is TOO THIN. There are also a lot of large holes in the metal plate that were made to allow clips to be mounted. The resistance coil is attached to these clips, which appear to be made of ceramic. The OEM version has thicker metal for the plate, and the mounting holes are much smaller. The result here is that the metal plate begins to warp outward under the heat stress, most especially the heat stress coming from the coil, which sits between the metal plate and the metal mount on which the heating element is attached. Eventually, the metal plate warps enough that some part of the coil will touch the metal housing. Instant short to ground, accompanied by a tripped breaker and likely rupture of the resistance coil. 2. The resistance coil itself is TOO THIN, notably thinner than the OEM version. Among other things, this means that this coil will have more of a tendency to warp and will have a much shorter life span. I've included a photo of the heating element where you can see the carbon build up on the metal plate. The plate is easily bent with a little hand pressure and is flaking off residue due to rapid corrosion. When I opened the back of the dryer, you could see flakes of corrosion building up inside the dryer housing along the bottom. So understand: You have been warned. The OEM version came in a box clearly marked "Whirlpool Corporation Factory Certified Parts." To be sure, inspect the plate and coil and compare with the old OEM version if you still have that available.

The package was really good it is great quality and fit my dryer perfectly now I have a brand new dryer basically. And so much cheaper that buying a new dryer it came with everything it nned to fix it. I'd buy it again

Went out less than 2 months of use. Going to try it again since I know there are bad ones every now and then. But for the price I can’t really complain.

Perfect replacement kit! Easy install!

It’s not an exact replica don’t get scared but works perfectly as a replacement if yours burnt out
