The heating element in a Kenmore 80 Series dryer is located on the rear of the dryer and is protected by the rear dryer panel. Before entering the dryer drum to dry your clothes, air is heated by passing over the heating element coils. If the dryer does not heat, it could be due to a faulty heating element or a blown thermal fuse. To determine whether the heating element is properly functioning, you must remove it from the dryer and test it for continuity using a multimeter.
A dryer's heating element uses resistance in its wire coil to convert electricity to heat. The repeated heating and cooling of the element causes corrosion on the wire coil. Over time, the corrosion weakens the coil. The weakened coil draws a higher amp load. The higher amp load superheats the weak spots, which speeds the corrosion. Eventually, the weak spots short out and the dryer no longer heats. Remove and test the old dryer heating element before replacing it with an exact replacement model.
Dryers are used to dry clothes using the introduction of warm, dry air into a tumbler that simultaneously spins the clothes while they're exposed to the warm air. Since dry air alone will not dry clothes very quickly, dryers are manufactured with devices that heat the air pulled in from the outside and vent air back out of the dryer as it becomes more damp. Traditional clothes dryers use a simple heating element to achieve this, but more energy efficient dryers have been introduced since then that use entirely different methods to heat air.
The heating element inside your dryer turns electrical energy into heat. The electricity runs through a series of wires on the element that heat up. The radiant heat from the element is then blown into the dryer by the fan and circulated through the tumbler. Your dryer will turn on if the heating element is faulty, but it will not heat the tumbler. You'll get nothing but wet clothing. A faulty heating element is quite common on early models and is a part that can be replaced with little DIY experience.
Although some plastics are dishwasher-safe, they can melt and burn when they are small enough to fall through the rack and onto the heating element. When this happens the smell is awful. The dishes most likely require another wash cycle to remove the smell, however you must also remove the melted plastic from the heating element. Cleaning plastic off a dishwasher heating element requires removing the plastic and neutralizing the odor.
Dryers produced by the White-Westinghouse brand come in gas and electric styles. Electric Westinghouse dryers all use the same type of heating element.
