Dryer would sometimes heat, sometimes not and wasn't sure what could be causing it so ordered this kit with everything that could be wrong. Arrived quickly, nicely packaged. Immediately ran OHM rest on everything to make sure the readings were what they were supposed to be and that there were not breaks in the heating coils of the heating unit. Installation is pretty simple, hardest thing is following the typical poorly written direction so I found the online video of how to replace everything and followed that instead. Still not sure what was wrong because the removed heating coiled seemed intact, resistance levels were identical to the new unit so I suspect it was more the t-stat or limit switch which were both included in the new kit. Dryer works perfectly once again. I'm somewhat skeptical about longevity based upon many of the poor reviews on here as to durability. I guess the good news is that I now know that this fixed whatever the problem was for thirty dollars. If it fails, I'll then spend four times that amount to get the OEM versions which is still a lot less than a new dryer.

New part took too long to get here. Had to temp fix the heater, broken wire. Twisted wires together and put a wire crimp to keep wires together. Works fine. So now I have a new part on hand. Oh well. Smile. Good price, slow shipping.

It was the part I needed and easy to put on. Good price and fairly quick ship

The last one I bought for my daughter lasted a year. She tends to run large loads on high heat.

Fit right, working like I hoped

I had recently bought another heating element from another vendor and when I put it in, I could tell it didn’t fit quite well like it should that lasted me two months so I said not again and bought this product. It fit perfectly and it is still working fine. So I bought another one from them just has a back up. Hopefully won’t have to use for another year or so.

Ordered in 11/16/2025. Stopped working completely 2 months later on 1/24/2026. Lifetime warranty noted in the listing. Replacement ordered (estimated delivery 6 days from now). Will see how that goes and will update the review if needed.

Part was great

once a year replace

Heater element blew out 2 & 1/2 weeks after I replaced it. Quality, compared to original, was lacking
