A huge cost savings!
Dryer would sometimes heat, sometimes not and wasn't sure what could be causing it so ordered this kit with everything that could be wrong. Arrived quickly, nicely packaged. Immediately ran OHM rest on everything to make sure the readings were what they were supposed to be and that there were not breaks in the heating coils of the heating unit.Installation is pretty simple, hardest thing is following the typical poorly written direction so I found the online video of how to replace everything and followed that instead. Still not sure what was wrong because the removed heating coiled seemed intact, resistance levels were identical to the new unit so I suspect it was more the t-stat or limit switch which were both included in the new kit.Dryer works perfectly once again. I'm somewhat skeptical about longevity based upon many of the poor reviews on here as to durability. I guess the good news is that I now know that this fixed whatever the problem was for thirty dollars. If it fails, I'll then spend four times that amount to get the OEM versions which is still a lot less than a new dryer.

A week without a working dryer? Dont think so.
New part took too long to get here. Had to temp fix the heater, broken wire. Twisted wires together and put a wire crimp to keep wires together. Works fine. So now I have a new part on hand. Oh well. Smile. Good price, slow shipping.

Package Parts as Described
Dryer heating element, thermostat, and other parts were correct for my dryer and fit precisely. Removal of old parts and installation of replacement parts was straight forward and too approximately one hour to complete. Dryer is again functioning.

Well made
I had recently bought another heating element from another vendor and when I put it in, I could tell it didnโt fit quite well like it should that lasted me two months so I said not again and bought this product. It fit perfectly and it is still working fine. So I bought another one from them just has a back up. Hopefully wonโt have to use for another year or so.

My dryer now works like brand new.
Everything fit exactly as it should. Easy enough to install and my clothes are dry first time around again :)

Get your dryer back up and running for a few bucks...
Our dryer finally give up the ghost. But after watching a few YouTube videos, it looked like it could only be a items causing the failure. Found this kit with all the said items for a great price. Installed them on a Saturday morning, and cleaned out the vents while I had it open and voila! We got our dryer back, and I think it actually works better than it did. So I figure one the items where on its way out for awhile.

Exceptionally Poor Quality
Rarely do I write reviews, but in this case I'll make an exception, as not only is this product worthless, but downright dangerous. The main defect is that it uses very thin, easily bent, wire; the one I received grounded out within less than two weeks, which is of course a fire hazard (and had the wire not failed first the insulators are loose and also poor quality, and would have gone soon after). Painful as it may be, far better to spend three times more for an OEM heating element that will last around ten years, versus ten days, and, much more importantly, saving oneself from the daunting task of convincing one's spouse it is safe to resume using a dryer she has vowed to never touch again.
