Great product! My dryer didn’t work right for a week, I took and entire weekend to gut it. My husband found the problem with the heating element. We were able to easily locate the correct model on Amazon and arrived quickly! Saving us piles and piles of dirty laundry or trips to the laundromat with small kiddos in tow. Easily install, fit like a charm and works even better! My dryer hasn’t worked this well since it was brand new, the heat level is too notch! Saved us the pain of buying a new dryer!

Heating element didn't last 5 months
== Original Review == My dryer's heating element went bad. The one in this kit was affordable. It curved out where the original was flat, so i used pliers to flatten the curve for it to slide in, and everything's been golden since. I've not had reason to use the other pieces in the kit, but my multimeter said they're good to go, and they match what I have installed. I have zero regrets for this purchase. == Update == I installed the heating element in late April, and it burnt out by mid-September, as shown by the picture. That's a little over 4 months of use. I still don't quite regret the purchase, but I think it's worth knowing that this particular heating element may not last long. I went with a different seller this time when replacing the part. == Solved the problem == I continued having trouble with my heating elements, no matter the seller. At some point, my husband and I learned that there was a vent on our roof that could get clogged in addition the dryer ductwork. We had been cleaning the ductwork, but didn't know about the vent. A terrifying roof climb and vent-cleaning later, we suddenly found things much better with our dryer and haven't had to replace the heating element since.

Low quality garbage don’t waste your money on this
This looked great initially- I order in Sept, installed in late October and yesterday just outside the 3month return window it failed completely. When we took it out the coils had over heated, turned a greenish color and snapped off. I’d at least like my money back as I can’t be refunded for the labor install I already paid for. The orginal part lasted 9 years, this one barely lasted 3 months. Terrible quality, don’t waste your money on this. Will update with a photo.

Great replacement parts
This was great. We didn’t have to pay to replace our whole dryer. We just watched a tutorial on YouTube and it was pretty reasonable to fix. I guess I should say, my fiancé did all the work but he made it look easy.

Easy installing
Our dryer has been trying to die on us twice. I was able to get it fixed both times by replacing it with this new one. Now it works better than ever. Great price too!
