H0024000291A Genuine Dryer Heater Element for Fisher & Paykel, Haier Dryers DE8060P1 DE8060P3 DC8060P1 DE8060 HD80-01 HDC80E1

H0024000291A is the genuine heating element for a small group of Fisher & Paykel and Haier dryers. Listed models are the F&P DE8060, DE8060P1, DE8060P3 and DC8060P1, plus the Haier HD80-01 and HDC80E1. If your dryer tumbles normally but the clothes come out cold and damp, the heater is one of the first parts to test.

Dryer running but not heating

The heater warms the air that the fan pushes through the drum. If the element goes open circuit, the drum still turns and the cycle still counts down, but the clothes stay cold and wet at the end. A heater that has shorted can trip the safety switch or blow a fuse. Other parts in the heating circuit, like the thermal cut-outs and thermostat, can cause the same no heat symptom, so test them too before deciding the element is at fault. Poor airflow from a blocked lint filter or duct is often what starts the chain of failures.

Testing and fitting the heater

Unplug the dryer at the wall before opening any panels. Check the old element with a multimeter for continuity and look for scorch marks on the terminals. Take a photo of the wiring so every lead goes back on the same terminal, and clean out any lint inside the cabinet while it is open. If you are not confident working on electrical parts, have a qualified appliance technician fit it.

Questions about this part

My dryer turns but there's no heat. Is it always the element?

Not always. A failed thermal cut-out or thermostat can also stop the heat, and a blocked lint filter or duct often causes those to trip. Test the element for continuity first, then check the other parts in the heating circuit.
