Review: Not OEM. But great so far. Improved heating on my Cabrio dryer! - I installed this with all four new sensors on my WED7800X(2010 Whirlpool steam Cabrio dryer) After 10 loads so far, my dryer is working great and a dries LOT faster than before. Fairly easy to install. Really straight forward when you get to looking at everything. While not OEM, it was 1/4 the cost on this part alone. Order and receive your element and thermostats you want to replace, before taking your dryer apart. It's very easy to swap them right away and will make putting it back together A LOT easier. You may have a similar story: Sorry for the length. It was my personal adventure last week. Step one: Youtube. What am I doing? ok, got a good look at it after 30 minutes through three or four vids. Get out your power screwdriver and bolt driver bits. There are a lot of machine screws. Most all can be done with a small handheld power driver. Good time to buy that cheap Black and Decker on desertcart with a set of small hex head bolt bits right now since you're waiting for parts anyway and it's only $25 or less. You're still ahead of the $110 OEM heater element and now you have a good screwdriver. The SKIL ixo 4.0 volt is a little better, but it's $40. It was pretty obvious that my coil had blown after I got it all apart. The thin sheet between the coils that the ceramic mounts are on, had melted, warped, and cracked into a position that shorted it out. After spending $120 on an electrician to come out for 5 minutes, test the outlet, and to tell me that my dryer was broken, I decided to order all the parts to fix it. The dryer had reported a power issue from the wall, it wasn't..... Grr. 'Diagnosis mode'? Don't bother. It only took about an hour to get everything apart and cleaned up, it was a mess in there. Pop tabs, collar stays, bobby pins, coins, and oh my god the lint. Get out the shop vac and clean it all up, especially from the blower fan below. Take pics of where all the screws are you are going to remove, I just used my phone to make a video of the points where they go. Including the electrical clip positions. There were four main sensors below my drum. Two on this heating element cage and two on the blower (vacuum?) fan. All said it was about $85 to replace everything as of March 2019. I bought all four thermostat pieces. Thermal cut off, thermister, thermostat, and thermal fuse I think. No real idea what they specifically do, but folks online mostly all said it's not a terrible idea to replace everything since you have it all apart and thermal sensors get finicky when they are overheated or short. Snap and screw everything back together where they were. The belt on the drum was tricky to get on the tension roller. You may need to take the back off your dryer to get it on right. I managed to get it after looking at it for a minute. This one, easy to replace part saved me from buying another $1000 dryer this decade. So I'm pretty pleased with the product and myself. My wife was happy too. We have liked our Cabrio, and really happy to have it working again. There were some complaints about life on a small portion of the reviews. While I'd be bummed if it died, I'll update my review if so. Thanks for reading my ramble. Feel free to message if you need advice on the Cabrio Dryer Heating Element replacement.
Review: Better than I expected - OEM replacement was a week away and laundry was piling up so I ordered this because it had next day delivery. Based on the reviews I expected it to die after a month or two. We're a family of 5 and we do a lot of laundry. It's been well over a year now and it's still working just fine. We generally use the lower heat settings and our dryer's exhaust duct seems to flow pretty well. I have to assume that's why this has lasted longer than expected.
