faster load with React + code splitting + image optimization
JSON-LD Schema

Checking for schema blocks on this page...

What improves in the React build (all else equal):
  • Code splitting — only the current page's JS is loaded
  • Image optimization — WebP conversion + lazy loading via React Image
  • CDN caching of static assets via Vercel/Netlify edge network
  • Tree-shaking removes unused CSS and JS from the bundle
  • Prefetching — next pages load before the user clicks

Developer note: Remove this banner and modal entirely from the React production build.

Part No. NA 279838    Dryer Heating Element

Part purpose:

The heating element turns electricity into heat.

Part location on dryer:

Remove the back cover of the dryer. As you face the back of the dryer the heating element will be located in the tube running vertically on the right hand side.

Part failure symptoms:

When the element fails the dryer turns but does not heat.  It is essential to confirm the heating element is bad since other components such as thermodiscs & fuses can produce the same symptom.  Also check for 220 volts at the back of the dryer.  The dryer will run but not heat when 110 volts is present instead of 220 volts.  Cycle the dryer circuit breakers off and back on if 220 volts is not present.

Part diagnosis:

If there is no continuity through the heating element, it is bad. Visually inspect element for break. Bring your “heating element” in for free confirmation that it is good/bad or call the U-FIX-IT store for free assistance with diagnosis.
