Key Features

  • High-Efficiency Nickel-Chromium Coil: Manufactured with a premium Ni-Cr alloy wire that provides rapid, consistent heat generation. The coil density is optimized for 5400 watts at 240 volts, ensuring efficient drying cycles.
  • Reinforced Ceramic Insulators: Features high-temperature ceramic support blocks that securely hold the heating coil in place, preventing electrical shorts against the metal housing even under extreme thermal expansion.
  • Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel Frame: The heating coil is encased in a corrosion-resistant steel housing designed to withstand the high-airflow, high-heat environment of the dryer’s heater duct without warping.
  • Vibration-Resistant Terminals: Equipped with two 1/4-inch male spade terminals designed for high-amperage stability, preventing the "arcing" and localized melting often found in lower-quality aftermarket parts.

Compatibility & Fitment

This heating element is the most common replacement for Whirlpool-manufactured large-capacity electric dryers. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits hundreds of models including WED4815EW1, MEDC465HW0, and the Centurion/Bravos series.
  • Amana & Roper: Compatible with NED4655EW1 and other NED/NGD series units.
  • Kenmore (70, 80, & 110 Series): Fits the vast majority of 110-prefix models produced by Whirlpool for Sears (e.g., 110.66132511, 110.60022010).
  • KitchenAid, Estate, & Crosley: Direct fit for dozens of budget-friendly and high-end top-lint-filter dryers.
  • Note: This part is specifically for Electric Dryers. It is typically located inside a metal heater box at the bottom-right or rear of the dryer cabinet.

When to Replace

  • No Heat: The dryer runs and the drum turns, but the air remains cold. This is usually caused by a physical break in the heating coil.
  • Long Drying Times: If the coil is partially grounded or sagging, the unit may provide some heat but fail to reach the temperature needed for a full load.
  • Tripping Circuit Breaker: If a section of the coil has snapped and is touching the metal heater box, it will cause a short circuit and trip your home's breaker.
  • Thermal Fuse Blows Repeatedly: If the element is stays "on" due to a shorted coil, it will blow the safety thermal fuse to prevent a fire.
  • Continuity Test Failure: Use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the element shows "Open" (no beep), the internal circuit is broken.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: You MUST unplug the dryer. Electric dryers operate on 240V, which is lethal. Ensure power is completely disconnected.
  • Accessing the Element: On most Whirlpool-built models, you must remove the rear panel. The element is housed in a metal tube or "heater box" secured by 1/4-inch hex head screws.
  • Clean the Lint Path (CRITICAL): Heating elements usually burn out because of restricted airflow. Vacuum the internal blower housing and the entire exhaust duct to the outside wall before installing the new part.
  • Check the Thermostats: While the dryer is open, inspect the **Thermal Cut-Off (280148)** and **High-Limit Thermostat**. If the element burned out, these sensors were likely stressed.
  • Don't Touch the Coil: Avoid stretching or pulling the coil during installation. Ensure the coil is not touching the metal housing at any point before reassembling.

I got this as keeper for my bedside items, glasses and remotes. Can also keep it on the bed or next to my easy chair when watching TV. Stores all my stuff in nice divided compact area. I like the brown leather look as well.

The Perfect Valet Tray
Pattern Name: No Engraving, Pattern Name: No Engraving
Arrived well packaged in a sturdy box and wrapped in waterproof padding. The appearance of the wood and stain is high quality and matches pretty close to the walnt dresser. When I opned the box, it did not have any mysterious smells that make me sneeze. Adequate organizer that fits what I need. It is very balanced and sturdy with no warped wood. The notch for the phone charger cable is a nice touch Overall, I was presently surprised and would recommend this valet tray.

Overall Sturdy Valet Tray
Pattern Name: No Engraving
The SEEDWAVE valet tray really impressed me with its sturdiness. The wood feels solid and well-crafted—there's no worry about cracking unless you decide to use it as a frisbee! The only minor issue I encountered was that my tray didn't sit perfectly flat on my nightstand at first. I noticed a slight warp in the middle, but that was easily fixed by adding stick-on rubber footers, which leveled out the tray nicely. Since then, I've continued to use it as my valet tray in the kitchen, and it's held up beautifully over time.
