Perfect Replacement
December 18, 2023

Old heating element fried. Bought this one based on reports that non-OEM replacements do not last. New one fit perfectly. Be ready for an initial burning smell for first few cycles after replacement.

Easy DIY and saved the hassle of a repair man.
January 26, 2023

Our dryer stopped making heat. I have never touched or worked on an appliance before. After finding videos online I figured this was more than likely the cause of the no heat. Surprisingly it was not hard to take off the back/front panels to the dryer. Sure enough the heating element was broken. I ended up buying this entire assembly because I figured the two other parts associated with the element are 10+ years old so why not just completely replace the entire unit... (drop in). Overall this was an easy install and very manageable for someone at home. Be careful with the edges though, they are sharp and I did end up cutting up my hand in places.

Worked great, shipping was fast
December 30, 2022

One day my dryer stopped drying the clothes. So I opened it up and tested continuity on the heater assembly and sure enough the element went out. I could either replace the element for $145 or the sensor, fuse, and element for $150, so I bought this part. It fit perfectly, part worked right away and shipping was fast. Very happy to get the family dryer back up and running. Cheaper than a new dryer.

Back up and running with the old assembly sitting on top. Make sure to reconnect everything. I forgot the door, and had to take it most of the way apart again.
Broken coil, which was the problem.
Note the order of the wires. Take a picture.
Have to tear down most of the dryer

Easy to install, no need to put anything together as it came as one piece, and worked great.

Perfect Part! I have replaced this part with non-OEM parts twice and they last about 3 months. We have four sons so we do a lot of laundry. Hope this OEM part lasts longer than 3 months. I put these in so often I can put them in 15 minutes. Make sure to line up the dryer drum belt.
