Description
Restore optimal drying performance with the Whirlpool WP3387747 Dryer Heating Element. This genuine OEM assembly is rated at **5400 Watts and 240 Volts**, providing the heat necessary to quickly and effectively dry your laundry. The heating coil is mounted on a durable metal frame designed to fit inside the heater housing of your Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, or compatible electric dryer. If your dryer runs but produces no heat, this element is a common culprit.
Features & Benefits:
- High Wattage: 5400W power rating ensures fast and efficient drying times.
- Durable Assembly: The coil is housed on a sturdy metal frame to resist vibration and thermal stress.
- Critical Component: Essential for generating heat; typically fails when the coil breaks or burns out.
- Wide Compatibility: Fits many electric dryer models across the Whirlpool brand family.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The dryer runs but produces absolutely no heat or not enough heat.
- The thermal fuse continues to blow (though the fuse or thermostat should be checked first).

- Clothes take an excessively long time to dry.
