Nordyne 902824 Heating Element

For veteran technicians servicing mobile home and modular housing units, the Nordyne 902824 Heating Element is the essential 11.6kW replacement part for restoring thermal performance in electric furnaces. This 240V, dual-coil assembly is engineered for high-output electric furnace heating element replacement, delivering approximately 39,550 BTU to ensure consistent climate control. Designed with a standard 9.25-inch by 3-inch mounting plate, the 902824 Nordyne part integrates seamlessly into E1EH and E2EH series air handlers. The 11-inch element depth, paired with a trimmable guide rod, allows for precise clearing within the heat plenum, preventing hot spots and premature component fatigue. As an OEM HVAC replacement part, it maintains the original equipment’s airflow dynamics and resistive heating specifications. When diagnosing a "no heat" call, verify the integrity of the secondary limit switch and sequencer, as this 11.6kW furnace element is often installed alongside the 626458R limit to ensure safe thermal staging and high-limit protection.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for Nordyne, Intertherm, and Miller E-series furnaces, eliminating the need for field-modified brackets.
• Dual-Coil Efficiency: Delivers a robust 11.6kW output at 240V, effectively meeting the high-demand heating requirements of modular home environments.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-grade resistive wire to withstand frequent cycling without losing structural integrity or heating capacity.
• Precision Fit: Features a standard mounting plate and a guide rod that can be trimmed for a custom fit in specific plenum depths.

What are the signs that a 902824 heating element has failed?
Technicians typically identify a failed element through an amp draw test that shows zero current or a continuity check revealing an open circuit. Physical inspection may show broken coils or signs of arcing at the terminal connections.

Is the limit switch included with this assembly?
No, the 902824 is the heating element assembly only. It is best practice to inspect the 626458R limit switch and the sequencer during installation to ensure the entire heating circuit is functioning correctly.

Can this 11.6kW element replace a lower-kilowatt model?
Installing a higher-kilowatt element than the original design requires verifying that the circuit breaker, wire gauge, and blower speed are rated for the increased load and heat output to prevent tripping or overheating.
