Muy buen producto funcionando al 100

Our dyer had been drying pretty bad for a few months, every load seemed like it took multiple cycles until it was finally dry... and then one day it completely stopped blowing warm air completely. Several videos later pointed me to checking fuses, resistors, and then finally the heating element, where I found one of the coil had completely broken through. I searched for OEM replacement options and through a bunch of different options on Amazon for build quality, how long it should last, etc... until I landed on this option which was well prices and had overall good reviews. It's been installed for roughly 2 weeks, install was quick and easy, removing the old unit, swapping on the necessary high temp fuse, and then bolting it back in place. The dryer spun up and quickly had nice and high heat again. I ran for about 30 minutes to "burn off" anything that would possibly make our first load of clothes through it smell, and it's worked great for many loads since then. For the price - would certainly order again if and when it decides to quit again.

I just put my spare that I bought 3 years ago when the last element went out. And the one before that was this same brand. So yeah it’s a good deal for all the parts in one kit and like I said it lasted 3 years. I just bought this one for the next time it goes out. The factory element only lasted 2 months. And cost a lot more.

Everything fit and works perfectly. Took 5 minutes to install and drying clothes again.

I got this because it was a good price, and it’s also a kit that contains both thermostats and the thermal fuse. The parts all fit, and looked and fit like the old parts, and I thought all was well. Unfortunately, six months later, my wife was telling me that the clothes weren’t drying well, and it was taking several cycles to dry them, even with the dryer set for high heat. We normally just leave it on medium heat. So the first thing I would think of is that the dryer exhaust to the outside of the house might be clogged, but I clean that religiously with a telescoping brush and a drill every fall, whichI just did last September. I decide to replace this element with an OEM part, and I’m glad I did. The element I bought here on Amazon still had continuity, but there were charred burn marks on half of the backing plate behind the element coils. See photo. There were also a little bits of char granules on the bottom of the dryer casing underneath where the heater element is open to air. That shouldn’t be happening, especially after just six months. I tested it for continuity, and it passed, with about 10 ohms resistance, so there’s no break in the coils, but obviously something isn’t right with them either. I’ll be sticking with the OEM dryer heating element going forward. I did use my electric leaf blower to blow out the exhaust tube connection for the house just to make sure there weren’t any obvious obstructions, and nothing came flying out of the other side, so as best I can tell, that’s clear. I’ll run the brush through again this summer unless we’re still having problems after changing the element. Bottom line, it works, but not as good as the original manufacturers part, and the burn marks are concerning for a possible safety issue.
