Dryer Timer
December 18, 2020

The product itself was easy to install and only took 20 minutes. The problem was I was sent a defective part the first time. It wasn't wrapped in anything to protect it, it rattled as I took it out of the box, and it even had the word bad written on the box. After waiting another 2 weeks for a new part, I could actually install the part.
