New 1800Watt Simpson, Westinghouse Dryer Element - Part # 4055917902

This 1800-watt heating element is a perfect fit for Simpson Sirocco and some Westinghouse dryer models. Part number 4055917902, it replaces part numbers DR-01, D055, and 0122300016, and is equivalent to the original part number 0122300016. It's an open-ended circular heating element with a diameter of 52.5 cm when mounted on the panel. This element suits newer Simpson dryers that have a fan belt at the back, including some Eziset and all Sirocco models. It's held in place on the heat shield by small stainless-steel clips and a small bracket over the ends. Note that while it's the same physical size as the older 2150-watt element, the bent ends are of different lengths. With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to both trade and retail, you can buy this product with confidence.

Using this 1800-watt heating element is straightforward. First, make sure your dryer is unplugged from the power source. Then, carefully remove the old heating element by detaching the small stainless-steel clips and the bracket. Replace it with the new element and secure it in the same way. When using the dryer, always follow the manufacturer's instructions. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the element during use. If you notice any signs of damage or reduced heating performance, it might be time to check the element. Also, clean the dryer regularly to prevent dust and lint buildup around the element, which can affect its efficiency. And remember, although this element is similar in size to the 2150-watt one, don't try to interchange them as the bent ends are different.
