Product review (5 stars): Works great for me
I bought this only a week ago and when the technician came out to replace the old one he told us that the key to any heating element lasting is to also change out the heat sensor, we were lucky enough that the tech had a used one and placed it on there for no charge but it so far has lasted. I see so many people state that this lasted only a few months but my question to you is, Did you change out the heat sensor when you changed the heating element? I don't think that it not being an actual Whirlpool product makes it bad it think that techs don't give enough knowledge about how a dryer works or even what could help it last longer.
