Product review (5 stars): Better Quality then OEM
I have been in the appliance repair biz for 38 years and have found that usually OEM parts are better then the aftermarket parts but in the case of this dryer element I feel the Napco brand is far better then the Whirlpool FSP part.

The Whirlpool OEM elements often fail because the element detaches from the porcelin hold downs and shorts against ground, sometimes even causing the element to stay on when the drum is not turning and causing fires.

The Napco brand locks the element to the porcelin insulators in a more secure fashion making it much less likely to detach and shorting to ground.

As for other reviews claiming short life, I have been installing the Napco brand for years and have not had a single failure. Most of the time, short life on heating elements is due to poor venting, so be sure to keep your vents cleaned.

Also for the "BUY USA" crowd, The Whirlpool OEM part is made in Mexico, The Napco is made in the USA.
