Replacing the heating element in a Whirlpool Duet dryer is a relatively simple repair that can be completed in about an hour. A malfunctioning heating element can cause your dryer to take longer to dry clothes, or even stop working altogether. If you are experiencing these problems, it is likely that your heating element needs to be replaced.
Before you begin, be sure to unplug your dryer and allow it to cool completely. You will also need to gather a few tools, including a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, and a new heating element.
