Product review (4 stars): 11 months and still running
I needed it in an emergency and so ignored the warnings, thinking I'd get 4 months of use out of it.  Actually, it has now been 11 months and we have had no problems.

We have a 1 year old and 3 year old so have done lots of loads of laundry.
I am not sure what this says about consistency of their manufacturing since some people get 4-6 months while others get a lot more.

Buying a cheap part sure beat paying a repairman.  If it fails in the next few months, I probably find the more expensive OEM part. If not, then I likely go with this again.
