Whirlpool 279872 Dryer Resistor

The Whirlpool 279872 Dryer Resistor is an essential component that regulates electrical current flow within your dryer's timer circuit. Consider it a miniature traffic controller for electricity. This resistor ensures that electricity flows smoothly and steadily to your dryer's timer motor, which is the brains behind the cycle operation. A defective resistor can disturb this flow, resulting in irregular timer behavior, start-up or shut-off issues, and even heating concerns. Fortunately, replacing a damaged resistor is an intuitive fix that will restore your dryer's correct function. This item is compatible with a variety of gas and electric dryers from Whirlpool, Estate, Crosley, Maytag, Roper, KitchenAid, Kenmore, and Sears.
