Heating Element - 5300W DC47-00019A

Hi Joe, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the thermostats and fuses on the element and blower housing with a multi meter to see if one of them are defective. The elements do not normally go. It is more then likely a thermostat or thermal fuse. Hope this helps!

Hi Janet, Thank you for the question. There are a few parts you can test with a multi meter before replacing the element. The thermostat and Bracket assembly PartSelect Number PS4276292 and the High Limit Thermostat ,PartSelect Number PS4205217 on the element housing. In most cases one or both of these parts would need to be replaced when you have no heat.Usually if the element has burnt out you will see physical damage to the element.Hope this helps!

Hi Edward, thank you for your question. To test your heating element you can test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello John, thank you for writing. This is likely due to either a faulty Thermistor, part number PS4204984, or Heating Element, this part number PS4205218 for your model. Good luck with your repair!

Hi Josie, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the HE error code is in relation to the heating element not working correctly. If your are getting the HE error code and the dryer is shutting off, see if the circuit breaker for the dryer has been tripped. If so, you will need to unplug the dryer and check the wire connections between the electronic control board and the heating element. If there are any loose wires reconnect them. If the wire harness or the heating element appears damaged replace them. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Dewane, thank you for your question. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you’re looking for is Heating Element Part Number DC47-00019A. Good luck with your repair!

Hello Calvin, thank you for your question. The heating element rarely goes bad. I would recommend testing the thermostats and fuse to determine if one of those parts are faulty. A faulty thermostat can cause the unit to run, but not heat. Testing the thermostats is a very easy job. Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. If the thermostats are tested and are fine, the element should be replaced. I hope this helps!

Hello Sunila, Thank you for the question. The HE error code means there is a Heating Error. Make sure the gas supply cut-off valve for the dryer is fully open. Unplug the dryer and reconnect any loose wiring connections on the gas valve coils. Replace the wire harness if damaged. Hope this helps!

Hi Willians, 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. 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. If all of those parts are fine then the issue might actually be in your control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Jason, Thank you for your question. This part is just your heating element. Part: Dc97-14486a is the metal duct around your heating element. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
