This 3-coil 5500 watts heating element with housing is used to produce heat to dry the clothes in your dryer. The heating element is strung with a coiled wired. The wire receives, but resists a controlled electric current causing the wire to heat up to dry your clothes. If there is no heat or it is taking too long to dry, you may need to replace the heating element. Check for a blown thermal fuse or thermal cut off. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to disconnect the power to the dryer before starting the repair.

Dryer wasn't heating properly, drying took too long.
Removed back of dryer with electric nut driver. Lots of screws. Removed old heating element to better access wires and thermostats. Removed baffle at end and transferred to new heater element. Transferred thermostats to new element, reconnected wiring in correct order. Installed new heater element in correct position using tab to locate. Replaced back of dryer. Reconnected dryer vent. Toughest part was squeezing out of space after reconnecting dryer vent. Unfortunately, too short for my weight.

E64 Error
We followed a YouTube video and did the repair ourselves over an afternoon. We had one screw leftover (?) but everything went back together and now the dryer works like a dream! We bought a PartSelect part because we don't want to have to do this very often! ??
Heating element went out so I ordered this replacement and installed it myself
Getting to the element and putting the machine back together, in my case, was the most difficult part. There are tons of youtube videos that can guide you through the removal and replacement better than I can. I recomend watching those videos and taking pictures of the old element prior to removing it. Also, I would put all the screws in separate ziplock bags with labels on them because every screw for my model was unique. I would also tape and label the electrical wires too.

Heating element was burnt out.
Tight quarters but went well, fairly easy except for the far back screw that secures the element to back of dryer. Would have been easier if I removed drum but I didn’t want to disassemble that much. All is good and wife is ?? . If need help with disassemble Utube is your friend.

heater element went out
followed the instruction on you tube, the part was exact, there was nothing to guess, basically you take the whole front off of the dryer, that in itself is easy (follow instructions), once you get to the element, just plug and play. the worst part was a set screw in the back that did take some patience, but finally did get it in. I am not a mechanic in the least, trust me, if I can do it then anyone can. you will need regular Philips screw driver and one short one, really short, mine is about 2 inches in length, also I used manual one, allot of plastic, so I would not recommend electric drill or electric driver. also a good pair of plyers, but small not large.

Dryer error code e64, could it be the high temp switch or limiter
For model number EIED55HIW0
Hi Jeff, great question. If your dryer is displaying error code E64 that indicates there is a problem somewhere in the heating element circuit. Start by unplugging your appliance, and then checking the wiring between the heating element and the control board. If any connections are loose make sure you secure them, and if the wire harness is damaged that will need to be replaced. You will then want to inspect the heating element for damage, if there is no visible damage it can also be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. When testing if it is electrically open it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please let us know!

My fridgidaire affinity dryer gives error code e64 but it does heat fine. The dryer vent was cleaned and it still shuts off before the clothes are dry. If i clear the error and restart it continues to heat and dryer. If it is heating ok would it be the heating element? Thank you
For model number FASE7073LW0
Hi Brad, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Had error code e-63 so i replaced the heating element. Now have e-64 code. Dryer works for a few minutes then shows e-64. I can restart and it will heat and run for a few more minutes the code again.
For model number EWMED65IRRO
Hello David, thank you for your question. The error code E64 means Heater Open Circuit. This error appears when the Heating element or wiring to the heating element is defective. To clear the error code press and hold the far left key under the display and “cancel” buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. If the error appears again then you’ll need to check heater coils and connections for open circuits. I hope this helps!

How do you properly check for and open circuit with your meter when receiving an e64 code on your Frigidaire affinity dryer?
For model number FASE7073NA0
Hi Andres,
Thank you for your question. If your element is showing anywhere between 0 and 50 ohms of resistance when you test it. That would mean that it is working. If you see anything else, then your part will have to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer shut-off and said call service. Looked online and found how to read error code. Showed error 63 heating element. Took unit apart, tested thermostats and thermal fuse, all tested 0 0hms. Tested heating element, 2 coils read 27 ohms, 1 coil read .51(point 51) ohms. Would this indicate that the element is bad.
For model number 417.81100000
Hi Alan, thank you for your question. The heating element should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. So by your 51 ohms reading, it is likely your element is the issue. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. Good luck with your repair.

Error code E63
Hi Mario,
Thank you for your question. That error code means that you are having an electrical issue with either your heating element or the wiring. I would suggest testing your heating element with a multi meter before anything and checking to see if it is working correctly. If it is then you may have to look at your ground wiring. Good luck with your repair.

Hi, I am receiving an error code E9 on my dryer. We have replaced the heating element maybe year and a half ago can this go out again so soon?
For model number FFSE5115PA0
Hi Tanya,
Thank you for your question. Sometimes it can. I would suggest testing it with a multi meter to see if it is indeed your issue. It should read between 0 - 50 ohms to be working correctly. If that part is fine, then it may actually be your electronic control board that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Error 64 - upon examining the heating element found a piece of the coil in the bottom of the element housing, it was not connected to the coil. I cannot see a break in the coil because i can't extract the coil part from the round metal housing around it. It is connected to wires. I'm assuming that the piece of coil i found must have broken off from the coil body and that would be the reason for the error code. Would you agree? Or do i still need to check for connectivity?
For model number EIMED55IIW0
Hello Paula, Thank you for your inquiry. From your description, it does sound like the heating element as error code E64 indicates a heating issue. Hope this helps!
