BEWARE OF SELLER Does not guarantee their product like they promise in their listening
Fixed our heating issue in our Maytag. We went ahead and changed fuses too since it came with them. Easy install, so far functions as it’s supposed to as I’m on my 4th load of laundry being dried. If any issues I’ll update my review. Today is 11/27/24Edit- today is April 6, 2025 and the element has burned out yet again.Edit again- April 16 2026 less than 10 days after purchasing a new element. It has burned out again. I reached out to the seller and advised him that I would like a replacement and refund for the second purchase due to the listing stating that there is a 365 day guarantee which I did not notice after purchasing again. The seller refused to give me a refund, then offered me a refund of nine dollars, which is not even anywhere near the price that I paid for this item. Then he stopped responding to me. I will make sure to never purchase another item from this merchant again.

Great fit.
My dryer decided to stop heating. So far researching what the problem could be, I decided to buy this. I wasn't sure I would work but I did thankfully. I will keep buying these until it no longer fixes my dryer issue.
