More Details
High-quality heater element and thermostat.
The heater heats the air in the dryer to maintain the right temperature for drying your clothes. You have the thermostat to check the temperature. If it overheats, it interrupts the electrical circuit and stops the cycle until the temperature is normal again.
When you replace the old heater, the thermostat might be worn out. So this set comes with a new thermostat.
This heater and thermostat set fits Bauknecht, Bosch, Eslabon de lujo, Ignis, Proline, Siemens, V zug, and Whirlpool tumble dryers.
Before ordering, please verify that this part is suitable for your model using our compatibility checker.

Dryer repair
Tumble dryer is old and only lightly used. All that was wrong was heating element. Could have purchased a second hand dryer for amount the part cost, but at least this has a new element that will hopefully last. Easy to replace part which arrived quickly.

When my very old Wirlpool drier failed due to the heater I thought I would not be able to get a replacement and have to buy another drier. However I found a replacement heater on Ransom Spares that was cheaper than other suppliers. It arrived quickly and was easy to fit so the drier was soon back in action again.
