Dryer element replacement
Heating element went out in the dryer this morning. Ordered replacement at lunch, when I got home at 4:45 it was here. Changed it out and was running by 5:15. Fit perfect.

Fits, works, quality is ok.
Fit our whirlpool dryer. These seem to last about 2-3 years before the coil breaks.

Heating Element Burned Out In Less Than 2 Months
Ordered on May 15, 2025 - 279838 Dryer Heating Element kit. Yesterday, July 14th 2025, the heating element already burnt out. Easy to switch out. Worked great when it worked, however due to the huge difference in quality vs OEM part, I will not be purchasing again, nor will I look to go through the trouble to get a warranty replacement.

Came in handy, twice!
Loved it so much, had to buy it twice because our dryer went out twice in a month. No really, it was easy to work with and did the job.

Whirlpool dryer WED5200VQ1
Just installed the replacement. It is working but it has only been 2 days. The last one only lasted 6mos. Heating element coil broke and welded itself to the body and grounded the dryer. Hopefully this will last longer, then I will update the rating.

Great Kit, would buy again, especially from this seller, as it was fast delievery.
GREAT KIT, easy to install, came with instructions. No problem as these fit my dryer perfectly. I paid $29 wife was ready to go buy a new dryer, so I just saved $600 or so by just replacing the kit. This kit installs from the back of the dryer, so removing the back is all that's necessary. If you have a different configuration then my dryer, there are extra parts and instructions for those. I'm very, very pleased as the quality of the parts are top notch, my dyer is working again. A house full of teens, is no place for broken appliances.

It worked.
When my dryer suddenly stopped working, I couldn’t figure out what the issue was. I watched several videos to troubleshoot and discovered that the problem was the heating element. I decided to buy this repair kit and give it a try, hoping it would work. To my surprise, it did! We now have our dryer back in action. The fix was much simpler than I anticipated, especially after following the instructions in the video. The kit includes several different parts, and my husband and I decided to go ahead and replace everything included in the kit to ensure everything was in top shape. It worked perfectly, and our dryer is as good as new! If you're looking to repair your dryer yourself, I highly recommend this kit, it has everything you need and saved us a lot of money on professional repairs.
