FAQ

This kit is compatible with a wide range of dryers produced by Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Crosley, and Magic Chef. It is designed to fit many models within the 110, MED, WED, and YMED series.
This kit covers several critical components: the heating element (3387747, WP3387747, 8527865), the thermal fuse (3392519, WP3392519, 3388651, 694511, 80005), and the thermistor (8577274, WP8577274, 3976615, 3390292, 3406294).
If your dryer runs but fails to produce heat, the heating element is the most likely culprit. If the dryer does not start at all, or if it runs but shuts off unexpectedly, the thermal fuse has likely blown. A faulty thermistor often causes the dryer to overheat or fail to regulate temperature correctly, leading to excessively long drying times or clothes that remain damp.
Heating elements often fail due to age or restricted airflow, which causes the element to overheat and break. Thermal fuses typically blow as a safety measure when the dryer overheats, often due to a clogged vent or lint buildup. It is highly recommended to replace the fuse and thermistor whenever you replace the heating element, as these parts work in tandem; if one has failed, the others are often nearing the end of their service life.
You will generally need a 1/4-inch nut driver, a flathead screwdriver, and a Phillips head screwdriver to access the internal components. For most users, this repair takes approximately 45 to 90 minutes. Always ensure the dryer is unplugged and the gas supply is turned off (if applicable) before beginning.
Before installing the new heating element and fuses, thoroughly clean your dryer's vent hose and the exhaust duct leading outside. A restricted vent is the most common root cause for heating element and thermal fuse failure. Ensuring proper airflow is essential to prevent the new parts from burning out prematurely.
