The Dryer is working great again.
Heat stopped working in dryer.This was an extremely easy install. Basically just plug it in.I should have bought it with:“3387134 Cycling Thermostat, 3392519 Thermal Fuse, 3977393 Thermal Cut-off Switch, 3977767 High-limit Thermostat“I had to rip the old thermal/cutoff switch off the old heat element and put it on the new. Pliers are your friend if you happen to go that route.

Inferior Product
After having my Maytag dryer for 15 years, with kids, the element failed. Bought this element in July '24, failed April '25 after only doing about 3 loads a week. Found numerous insulators broken that caused the element to short out and burn up. My son also bought the same element and had the same problem within a year. Unless you like repairing your dryer yearly, I'd stay away from this product.

Great replacement
Fits and works as intended. The coils are not OE but they work as they should.

Cheap but Easy
Cheap, but easy to install. I have to buy 2 or three a year. Still less expensive than buying a factory part. Seems like they keep them in stock because they're usually available for next day delivery in my area.

Exact replacement works well
I replaced my heating element after my dryer stopped working on Christmas day. Cleaned out the lint and found the heating element was cracked, bought this to replace it. Very simple job and my dryer works better than when I first got it (bought used 2 years prior to this replacement). Almost 10 full months later and still works well and has cut my electric bill from less run time by $10-15/month.
