    The Whirlpool 279838 is a Genuine Whirlpool OEM electric dryer heating element assembly designed for select Whirlpool-manufactured dryers. The element heats the airflow that passes through the dryer drum during a heated drying cycle.
    A failed heating element can cause the dryer to run without producing heat or to take unusually long to dry clothing when the heating element is the diagnosed cause. Whirlpool recommends checking related components such as the thermal fuse and thermal cut-off as part of proper no-heat diagnosis.
    Verified Compatible Models Include:
    LEB6300LW0, LER4624DQ0, CEDX463JQ0
    Compatibility Note: Whirlpool 279838 fits select Whirlpool-manufactured electric dryers, and the compatible-model list above is not exhaustive. Similar-looking dryer heating elements may have different housings, terminals, or electrical specifications. Please verify the complete dryer model number before ordering.
    Installation Note: Disconnect the dryer from electrical power before service. Heating-element replacement requires access to internal high-voltage components; follow the service procedure for the specific dryer model.
