Signs it has failed
- Electric dryer runs but stays cold
- Heat on one half-breaker only
How we confirm it first
The technician measures the element's resistance and checks it isn't touching the housing (shorted).
What the repair involves
The element is reached through the back or front panel depending on the model. The thermostats are tested at the same time.
Why it fails
Elements break from repeated heating and cooling, and burn out faster when poor airflow makes them run hot.
How to make it last
Good airflow is the best protection. A dryer that suddenly dries slowly after an element change usually has a vent problem.
Repair or replace?
Usually worth it.
What it costs
Free diagnostic when you approve the repair and it's completed; otherwise $89 + tax for a home electric appliance. The written finding shows the part, labour and total before any work. Replaced parts carry a 90-day warranty.
