H0020810616C Genuine Dryer Heater Kit Assembly for Haier Clothes Dryers, Heating Element Replacement Kit

When a dryer tumbles but won't warm up, the heater is the usual suspect. H0020810616C is Haier's genuine dryer heater kit assembly, the unit that warms the air blown through the drum. Supplied as a kit assembly, it's the C version of this Haier number. No models are on file, so check that the number on your old heater, or in your dryer's parts list, matches H0020810616C before ordering, or send us the model details.

Dryer running but not heating?

In a vented or condenser dryer, the fan draws air over the heater and pushes it through the tumbling clothes. When the heater coil breaks or a connection burns, the drum still turns but the clothes come out cold and damp after a full cycle. Before ordering, clean the lint filter and check the exhaust, as blocked airflow can trip the thermal cutouts and stop the heat. A heater that reads open circuit on a multimeter is the usual confirmation.

Replacing the dryer heater

Unplug the dryer at the wall and let it cool. Heaters are usually reached by removing the back or the front panel. Photograph the wiring and thermal cutouts before disconnecting, and check those cutouts while you're in there. Fit the new kit, reconnect every terminal firmly, and clear any lint inside the cabinet. Electrical repairs like this are best done by a qualified appliance technician.

Questions about this part

Why did my dryer heater fail?

Restricted airflow is a common cause. A blocked lint filter, crushed duct or lint build up inside the dryer makes the heater run hot and can shorten its life. Clean the filter every load and check the airflow path when you fit the new heater.
