Dryer Heating Element
This product works well. Heat level is great, drying twice as fast.I order this product last night. Received it in less than 24 hours and the dryer was up and running well. I highly recommend this product (dryer heating element).

Dangerous failure after 2 months
Part worked perfectly...for 2 months before coil broke. Dryer suddenly failed to start, but orange glow visible through drum vent. Removed heating element to see that broken coil had shorted to the one below it. Do not buy from this vendor as they are selling potentially dangerous knockoffs.

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.

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.

Good product, well made, and a product upgrade....
I ordered the heat unit in a Friday, and for only $6.00, the promised delivery two days later on Sunday morning..... I installed it, and it works well....
