Great Product to replace an old worn out heating element
Our dryer kept blowing thermal fuses. So we decided to replace everything. Found this replacement kit on here and bought it. On his day off from work, my husband took the dryer back off and put it all in. Dryer works like new. Gets our clothes dry on one round of high heat, or the low heat setting. Great product. Easy to install. Great price. Great heating element.

Exactly What We Needed
A few weeks ago, the heating element in my dryer stopped working. I found this replacement kit that included all of the necessary components. The detailed product description helped me quickly assess which dryer brands and models it was compatible with. The product was carefully packed (so the heating coils wouldn’t get damaged during shipping) and each individual part was clearly labeled. My husband was able to easily install the new parts and now our dryer is working perfectly! Overall, we are very happy with this product.

Perfect fit and match for my 15+ year old 70 series Kenmore dryer
Dryer all of a sudden wasn't getting hot, or shutting off during a cycle. Considered picking up a used one local or even new, and after looking at prices I figured maybe it was something simple. This kit has everything you need, perfect match replacements, simple install with minimal tools. My dryer is working like new again, eager to see if I can get another 15 years out of it!!TLDR: Fits perfect, easy install, works great

Feeling lucky to still have my home.
Normally i do not leave reviews...good or bad; however, I felt I had to leave one this time.I ordered this heating element for my Kenmore dryer about 6 months ago. I use my dryer 2 to 3 times a week. Last week I was drying my clothes when my fire alarm went off. The heating element I had replaced had malfunctioned and caused a fire. If I had not been home at the time my home would have burned down. This was a very scary situation for us and I feel very lucky to still have a place to call home.Originally I was going to buy a more expensive part that claimed to be OEM certified. Then I saw this product that claimed to be "new and improved". Parts are so expensive and I needed to save as much money as possible cause frankly I have kids and money gets tight. This element was less than half the cost of the OEM element. A blessing, i thought at the time....but i have learned a hard lesson.My advice: pay the extra money for the certified part. Believe me it's well worth it in the long run.

Works but definitely a cheap product!
Bought one of these exactly 1 year ago today and I just so happen to discover this morning that the replacement has now gone out. Lasted exactly one year. Just ordered another one unfortunately. Cheaper than a new dryer and easy enough to do it. Just an inconvienience to get back behind the dryer in a cramped laundry room again…

Great parts at a great price
I have a 20 year old Whirlpool dryer and these parts fit it perfectly, it came with all of the relays, fuses and switches also. They were delivered overnight and installed in less than an hour.

Heating element didn't last 5 months
== Original Review ==My dryer's heating element went bad. The one in this kit was affordable. It curved out where the original was flat, so i used pliers to flatten the curve for it to slide in, and everything's been golden since.I've not had reason to use the other pieces in the kit, but my multimeter said they're good to go, and they match what I have installed. I have zero regrets for this purchase.== Update ==I installed the heating element in late April, and it burnt out by mid-September, as shown by the picture. That's a little over 4 months of use. I still don't quite regret the purchase, but I think it's worth knowing that this particular heating element may not last long. I went with a different seller this time when replacing the part.== Solved the problem ==I continued having trouble with my heating elements, no matter the seller. At some point, my husband and I learned that there was a vent on our roof that could get clogged in addition the dryer ductwork. We had been cleaning the ductwork, but didn't know about the vent. A terrifying roof climb and vent-cleaning later, we suddenly found things much better with our dryer and haven't had to replace the heating element since.
