If your dryer takes longer than usual to dry your clothes, or the air in the dryer never heats, your heating element might be bad. Depending on your dryer model, the heating element installs inside a housing, and heats the air as it passes through the blower, or a circular heating element sits directly behind your dryer's drum, heating the air inside the drum.


Electric dryers require a heating element to heat the air inside the dryer drum.
