Dryer heating element replacement

If your dryer runs but doesn't produce heat, the heating element is likely to blame. A burned-out element can cause cycles to run endlessly without drying clothes, leaving laundry damp or cold. You might also notice the dryer stops midway, takes too long to finish, or emits a faint burning smell. Most customers assume it’s the thermostat or vent — but in 7 out of 10 cases, it’s a failed or cracked heating coil. This is especially common in Samsung, Whirlpool, and GE models with high-cycle usage or poor ventilation.

At Volt & Vector, we specialize in dryer heating element replacement using brand-specific OEM parts. Our process begins with full-cycle diagnostics and electrical continuity testing to confirm the exact failure point. We open the dryer housing, inspect the element for breakage or corrosion, and verify whether the thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, or cycling thermostat were also compromised. Once confirmed, we install a new element, secure the mountings, and reassemble with proper airflow calibration.

Replacing the heating element isn’t just about restoring heat — it ensures the dryer reaches and maintains the correct temperature for safe, energy-efficient performance. A failing element strains the motor, increases cycle time, and can create excess lint buildup in ducts. Our service includes a short airflow check and interior lint sweep to reduce future overheating risks. If the dryer continues running without heat, delaying repair can stress other components, including the drum belt and control panel.

We provide dryer element replacement by appointment across Downtown Brooklyn, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, and ZIP codes like 11201 and 11215. Most common parts are in stock, and same-day service is often available. Whether you’re noticing longer cycles or no heat at all, schedule a diagnostic today and restore your dryer’s full performance — without guesswork, upselling, or unnecessary delays.
