New Hoover Apollo, Admiral 1700Watt Dryer Element - Part No. D051

This 1700-watt heating element is a perfect fit for Hoover, Admiral, and select older Fisher & Paykel dryer models. Part numbers include D051 and D051H, equivalent to HD039 and DR-02. It features an open-ended circular design. When mounted on the panel, the element diameter is 50cm. This is the most commonly used type in these dryer brands. It's attached to the heat shield with clamps and pop rivets. It's much more cost - effective than original parts attached to the heatshield. Note that you'll need to drill out the old rivets and replace them with new pop rivets or nuts and bolts (parts not supplied). With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to trade and retail, you can buy with confidence.

Using this dryer heating element is straightforward. First, make sure your dryer is unplugged for safety. Remove the old heating element by drilling out the old rivets. Then, place the new 1700 - watt element in position on the heat shield and secure it with either new pop rivets or nuts and bolts (you'll need to get these yourself). Once it's installed, plug your dryer back in and it should be ready to use. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the element during normal use. If you notice any strange noises or a decrease in drying efficiency, it might be a sign that the element needs to be checked. Clean the area around the element periodically to prevent dust and lint build - up, which can affect its performance. Remember, if you're not confident with the installation, it's always a good idea to call a professional.
