Electric Dryer Heater Elements
We carry genuine OEM dryer heating elements for your GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Maytag, Samsung, and LG dryer as well as other brands. Testing a dryer heater element is easy - a good element will have a closed circuit when checked with a multimeter across the terminals. A bad element will often have a visible broken coil.
To find the right element for your dryer, enter your model number in the search bar. You can also contact us and we'll look up the correct element.
Fixing a dryer heater element is typically done by replacing the element. In some cases, repairing the dryer heater element is possible by replacing the internal element - but this is rare. Generally it's less expensive and easier to replace the entire heater assembly.
Dryer parts are unique to a brand regardless of where you bought them from. If you bought your dryer from Lowes, Sears, Home Depot or any other appliance retailer, we likely can get the part.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the model number of my dryer?
Dryer model numbers are usually located on a sticker around the door opening. It is visible when you open the door.
How do I know if my dryer heating element is bad?
Dryer elements are easy to diagnose with a multimeter. To test a dryer element, check for continuity (closed circuit) across the terminals. The resistance reading should be nominal (0-20 ohms) although that may vary.
A broken wire also indicates a bad element - no need to test if you see a broken wire.
If your dryer heating element has continuity, test the thermostats next
Will my clothes dryer run if the heating element is bad?
Yes, your dryer may run if the element is bad. There will just be no heat.
I have an old dryer - is it worth replacing the heater element?
Most likely it will be cheaper to repair a dryer with a new element than replace the dryer.
Let customers speak for us
Parts shipped arrived quickly, Items just as described. I highly recommend Virginia Service Supply for factory replacement parts.
I was able to replace the range knobs for my 27 year old Jenn-Air gas range. Provided my model number and voila, they had them. What a surprise and satisfaction. No other location had them. I repeat, no other location had them. Thanks so much.
I was initially skeptical about ordering from this site since it's a small business I wasn’t familiar with, and it's located clear across the country from me. I typically order from Amazon, but I couldn’t find this oven knob anywhere else. I had lost my oven knob and hadn’t been able to cook for six months, so I was desperate.
Soon after placing my order, I realized it was shipping to the wrong address. I emailed them, and they responded within a few hours to confirm the correct address. Despite storms back east, I received my knob within the week, and it was exactly what I needed.
The price of the product, plus shipping, was great for a small business. I would 10/10 recommend this site for any parts you need that are hard to find elsewhere. They have a huge selection! It's refreshing to see small businesses thriving, even with giants like Amazon around. Great job providing a service and offering parts that no one else does.
The door seal failed pretty quickly on my 1.5 year old Maytag dryer (Model MED7230HW). It had started to separate and then come apart, so a new dryer door seal was in order.
The hardest part about this repair is carefully stripping off off the old sealant so that you can apply the new door seal to a clean surface.
You can use the Whirlpool brand heat resistant sealant, but it's overpriced. I used Permatex blue RTV silicone sealant. A thin bead is all it takes.
After searching and returning knobs w different marker position found the right one for the kitchen aid (which I. Now know are mostly whirlpool parts)model that apparently has 6 different sub model numbers (extra 2 numbers at end) the knobs came quick and the one interaction on how to return was quick and fairly easy. Now hope I get the refund. All in all glad I found them to find parts that are odd and hard to find
I was attempting to teach my kiddo how to use the stove, and they hulked the old knob off before I could instruct them to press it in before turning. Good first attempt, but at the cost of the knob, God rest its soul. The replacement knob is perfect, but it will take some time to properly diminish its brand-new shine with coordinating grease and sauce stains for the coordinating set. 5 stars
I looked numerous places for leg replacement for my oven. This place was absolutely the best place and price. Other places wanted $30-$40 a leg. Definitely would order from here again.
The deli door hanger on my Maytag refrigerator broke. I checked online for replacement options, found Virginia Service Supply. Finding the correct item was easy, no problems ordering the item. When it arrived I check instructions on line and completed the replacement in minutes. Great company, great service, correct part first time.
Ordered a dishwasher pump from VA service supply for an older washer. They had the parts in stock. And after shipping it was cheaper than my local guys could do. And faster turn around. I have a happy customer, and will order from this company again
Virginia Service Supply is amazingly wonderful! They quickly shipped my cooktop knob a knob tough to find I might add. I am hoping to get 2 additional so I have spares. Highly recommend them! Thanks again!
After trying -- unsuccessfully -- to find parts for our 7 year old Samsung refrigerator I lucked onto your website. You had the part in stock -- and you shipped it so fast! I gave your name to our appliance repairman, saying his customers should try you first! I wasted so much time looking - and so grateful you were there.
The part I received from Virginia Supply Company was the exact part I needed to fix the locking latch on my Maytag dishwasher. The price was certainly the best I found on the internet and the shipping was fast. I'm a 72 year old female and replaced my dishwasher latch with this part in about an hour. The only 2 things that held me up was finding a star shaped wrench and then watching a YouTube video in order to see how to take the 2 prong connector off which is just to pry it off with a regular screw driver. Easy as pie actually. I will definitely order any other parts from Virginia Supply Company. They're the best in my book!!
I have ordered multiple parts from Virginia Service Supply and their website is great, deliveries arrive quickly and in excellent condition. They save me a ton of time and their prices are extremely competitive
Excellent experience/transaction. Fast shipping. Great price for a brand new OEM part. The part resolved my issue. Thank you Virginia service supply.
stove burner valve went out before christmas. Virginia supply service had the best price on it. So ordered it up not expecting much due to holiday season. Order was processed next day shipped out. Thank you!
