Understanding the Problem
The 11063932102 is a dryer heating element assembly (used in many electric dryers) that produces the heat needed to dry clothes. When the element fails — opens, shorts to the housing, or has burned spots — the dryer will tumble but not heat, or will heat intermittently and trip breakers. 1) Confirm the symptom - Symptom to expect: dryer tumbles but no heat, very low heat, or breaker trips when heating starts. - Verify the dryer receives full power: for electric dryers check the wall outlet for two hot legs (240V). If no power, troubleshoot supply first. 2) Preliminary checks (quick and cheap) - Clean the lint screen and exhaust vent. A blocked vent can mimic heating-element failure by choking air flow and causing overheating. - Inspect the thermal fuse and high-limit thermostat: a blown thermal fuse will leave the dryer running without heat. These are inexpensive and often fail with a failed heating element. 3) Test the heating element - Unplug the dryer (or shut off the breaker). Access the heating element housing (usually at the rear or behind the front panel). - Visually inspect the element coil for breaks or burn spots and check for melted insulation or evidence of shorting to the housing. - With the dryer still powered off, use a multimeter set to ohms: measure continuity between the element terminals — a functioning element will show low resistance (typically a few to a few dozen ohms depending on model). If the meter reads infinite/open, the element is broken. - Check for short to ground: place one probe on an element terminal and the other on the metal housing. Any continuity indicates the element is shorted to ground and must be replaced. 4) Replace the heating element (typical step-by-step) - Tools: screwdriver set, nut driver, multimeter, work gloves, and replacement element 11063932102. - Safety: disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the dryer. - Access: move dryer away from wall; remove rear access panel or front panel (model-dependent) to reach the element housing. - Label and disconnect wires from the element terminals (take a photo first). Remove mounting screws or clips that hold the element assembly to the housing. - Remove the old element assembly from the housing. Inspect the duct and blower area for lint buildup and clean as needed. - Install the new 11063932102 element assembly: position it in the housing, secure with screws/clips, and reconnect the wires to the proper terminals. - Reassemble panels, restore power, and run a test cycle. Verify the dryer heats and vents properly. Monitor for unusual smells or tripping. 5) If the dryer still won’t heat after installing a good element - Re-check thermal fuse, thermostats, timer or control board outputs, wiring continuity, and the house supply voltage. A failed thermal fuse or a bad high-limit/ cycling thermostat will prevent heat even with a good element. Safety note: Always disconnect electrical power before testing or replacing heating elements. Heating elements and surrounding metal can be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection. If you’re not comfortable working with line voltage, hire a qualified technician.
Common Symptoms
Dryer tumbles but no heat; very low or intermittent heat; breaker trips when the dryer tries to heat; visible break or burn on element coil.
Common Causes
- Open or broken heating coil inside the element assembly
- Element shorted to the metal housing (ground fault)
- Clogged vent or lint buildup causing overheating and element damage

Helpful Repair Tip
Quick confirm: with power off, measure continuity across the element terminals (expect low resistance). Also check for continuity between each terminal and the metal housing — any continuity there means the element is shorted and needs replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test if the heating element 11063932102 is bad?
Unplug the dryer and access the element housing. Use a multimeter on the ohms setting: check continuity between the two element terminals (a good element reads low resistance — typically a few to a few dozen ohms). Also check each terminal to the metal housing; any continuity there means the element is shorted to ground and must be replaced.
Can I replace the 11063932102 heating element myself and how long will it take?
Yes, a confident DIYer can replace it. Typical time is 30–60 minutes depending on model and access. Always disconnect power first, label or photo the wire connections, remove the access panel, swap the assembly, reconnect wires, and reassemble. If you’re unsure about electrical testing or access disassembly, hire a technician.
