Product review (5 stars): Always buy OEM parts
I went through two 3rd Pty heating elements and the results were not great! Both of them lasted for about a month, then the coils welded to the heating element housing. When they did work, it would take nearly two cycles to dry a load. So far this OEM part works great! I've washed about 4 large loads' on high heat and they've all dried in about a half hour tops. I will definitely stick to OEM parts for now on.
