Key Features

  • High-Efficiency Nickel-Chromium Coil: Manufactured with a premium Ni-Cr alloy wire that provides rapid, consistent heat generation. The coil density is optimized for 5400 watts at 240 volts, ensuring efficient drying cycles.
  • Reinforced Ceramic Insulators: Features high-temperature ceramic support blocks that securely hold the heating coil in place, preventing electrical shorts against the metal housing even under extreme thermal expansion.
  • Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel Frame: The heating coil is encased in a corrosion-resistant steel housing designed to withstand the high-airflow, high-heat environment of the dryer’s heater duct without warping.
  • Vibration-Resistant Terminals: Equipped with two 1/4-inch male spade terminals designed for high-amperage stability, preventing the "arcing" and localized melting often found in lower-quality aftermarket parts.

Compatibility & Fitment

This heating element is the most common replacement for Whirlpool-manufactured large-capacity electric dryers. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits hundreds of models including WED4815EW1, MEDC465HW0, and the Centurion/Bravos series.
  • Amana & Roper: Compatible with NED4655EW1 and other NED/NGD series units.
  • Kenmore (70, 80, & 110 Series): Fits the vast majority of 110-prefix models produced by Whirlpool for Sears (e.g., 110.66132511, 110.60022010).
  • KitchenAid, Estate, & Crosley: Direct fit for dozens of budget-friendly and high-end top-lint-filter dryers.
  • Note: This part is specifically for Electric Dryers. It is typically located inside a metal heater box at the bottom-right or rear of the dryer cabinet.

When to Replace

  • No Heat: The dryer runs and the drum turns, but the air remains cold. This is usually caused by a physical break in the heating coil.
  • Long Drying Times: If the coil is partially grounded or sagging, the unit may provide some heat but fail to reach the temperature needed for a full load.
  • Tripping Circuit Breaker: If a section of the coil has snapped and is touching the metal heater box, it will cause a short circuit and trip your home's breaker.
  • Thermal Fuse Blows Repeatedly: If the element is stays "on" due to a shorted coil, it will blow the safety thermal fuse to prevent a fire.
  • Continuity Test Failure: Use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the element shows "Open" (no beep), the internal circuit is broken.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: You MUST unplug the dryer. Electric dryers operate on 240V, which is lethal. Ensure power is completely disconnected.
  • Accessing the Element: On most Whirlpool-built models, you must remove the rear panel. The element is housed in a metal tube or "heater box" secured by 1/4-inch hex head screws.
  • Clean the Lint Path (CRITICAL): Heating elements usually burn out because of restricted airflow. Vacuum the internal blower housing and the entire exhaust duct to the outside wall before installing the new part.
  • Check the Thermostats: While the dryer is open, inspect the **Thermal Cut-Off (280148)** and **High-Limit Thermostat**. If the element burned out, these sensors were likely stressed.
  • Don't Touch the Coil: Avoid stretching or pulling the coil during installation. Ensure the coil is not touching the metal housing at any point before reassembling.

The BEST BRA for big bewbs!
Size: 36G, Color: Black
I've been a fan of Delimira for a while - it's hard to find a well made, comfortable, breathable bra for larger cup sizes at a price that doesn't require taking out a mortgage to afford it. I love this bra. It fits well, it's comfortable, it doesn't get hot, it seems really durable, and it's...sturdy. The underwire is not annoying, and while it's not the cutest bra, it's also not the most matronly bra I own. I have it in all three available colors and will 100% buy more colors should they ever release them.

Didn’t last for very long. Comfortable
Size: 42DD, Color: Beige
Comfortable bra. Good price but the wire popped out on one side after about 8 times of wearing it. Maybe it was the way I laundered it. It’s comfortable enough to want to order again and test that theory.

Love love love this bra.
Size: 34E, Color: Beige
I dont really write reviews but really felt like I needed to hop on here and give one. I have a terrible time finding bras that fit (small frame and my boobs never shrunk back down after having kids). I was initially looking for a non-underwire bra and ordred a couple to try. Was annoyed when this came in having underwire but thought ok, well its here so may as well try it. Fit like a dream so I told myself, Ill wear it for an hour and see how I feel about it then. I totally forgot I was wearing it. It is SO comfortable. The back doesnt ride up, I dont have underboob, it breathes nicely, holds me up, straps dont dig in or fall down, and I dont feel a huge sense of relief after taking it off at the end of the day. Ive ordered two more and after a few weeks of wearing and washing a couple times, I still absolutely love it.

The PERFECT bra!
Size: 38D, Color: Barely Buff
I typically don't write reviews...but I just had to with this bra! I have not worn an underwire bra in years. I have had such a hard time finding something that is comfortable, supportive and does not allow for overflow. This bra is perfect! The material is soft and stretchy. It covers everything and does it comfortably! It also provides a perfect lift! The color is a perfect skin tone. Pretty sure I will be buying more!

SUPER SOFT!! I'm impressed with how amazing this sheer bra feels on!!
Size: 46C, Color: Orchid Hush, Size: 46C, Color: Orchid Hush
I already loved Delimira front closure bras so thought I'd try these sheet mesh ones with Valentine's day coming up. Wow, was I super happy! The "mesh" that I have found scratchy on other brands was SUPER SOFT on this one. It's a stretchy fabric, but definitely is giving my C cups support. The size fit exactly as the other Delimira bras fit me. The shoulder straps feel wonderful too -- that's an added bonus. I was worried the back would be too much material and/or feel weird, but I loved how it felt and the coverage will make for zero tugging. This design is fantastic! As soon as I tried it on, I immediately ordered more colors and now have the light purple, red, white, and teal blue!! Oh and yes, it's sheer and will show your nips (some colors more than others), but not through a shirt. It provides the same coverage as other unlined bras under shirts. If you want a sexy bra that's comfortable too, this is it! My only complaint is that all the hardware on the bras are GOLD, no matter which color you order. I would prefer silver.
