    We have been extremely pleased with all the appliance parts we have ordered from McCombs. We are repeat customers and recommend McCombs to our friends and family doing their own repairs.

    US made element

    Posted by Robert Newman on 6th Jan 2021

    Of the several replacements available, I chose this part by Napco because the heating element is stated to be made in USA. Time will tell if this is a good decision for longevity. A downside to this part is that installation of the new limit thermostat requires replacing the factory jumper bar with a wire (included), and possibly installing a crimp connector onto that wire, depending on the model of dryer. Considering one's skill level, this may be fine, or it may be better to select a different replacement part that duplicates the factory configuration to make the job simpler.

    Dryer heater element for Whirlpool clothes dryer.

    Posted by Deborah Freedman on 13th May 2020

    In the middle of Covid 19, the heater element broke for the clothes dryer. My husband gave me the information and I researched it and found this company. I ordered the part and in 2 days received it. Everything needed was included. I am a very satisfied customer and highly recommended this supply company. Thank you

    Awesome!!!!!

    I am a female and my dryer went out I looked on YouTube and got instructions how to check and test everything and I order my part. The company I look at for the part only sold the heating element by itself, at this company I got everything heating element,fuse thermostat etc, and for a great price. Needless to say my dryer is working and the part was very easy to put on.

    Great parts

    Posted by Jonathan Rodriguez on 29th Nov 2016

    Everything was perfect. Only one modification needed for the thermostat on the heating element wire to the dryer.
    All the parts were included. Only need wire cutters or needle nose and screw gun.

    Worked Perfect

    I purchased to install in a Roper even though not listed as a replacement part. All fit perfectly. The most important piece is the white non-resettable fuse. But it is nice to replace everything.
