Description

How does the heating element in a tumble dryer control temperature? 

The clothes are dried using the heat generated by the tumble dryer's heater components, which consist of a thermostat and an electrical resistance device used to control the temperature.

When the dryer is turned on, the heater element receives electrical electricity. As the current passes through the wire, it encounters resistance, causing the wire to heat up. The heated air produced in the process is then used to dry the clothing.

When do they need to get replaced?

Heating and cooling processes, tension, mineral deposits from hard water, and ageing can cause heater elements to deteriorate over time. 

Signs indicating the need for heater element replacement include insufficient heating, prolonged drying times, inadequate heat production, cold spots on clothing or the drum, visible damage (burn marks, breaks, or corrosion) on the elements, and a malfunctioning thermostat affecting temperature regulation.

My tumble dryer is a DCY9316W but the heater has a different P/N and the thermostat (I believe is a cycle open\close 120°c type) looks very different from the type shown in your images.
