Product review (1 stars): Element Was Defective and Missing Thermostat
First a small mea culpa - I ordered the product in July for an inefficiently drying dryer and underestimated just how hot it stays in my garage in the Miami area till late fall.

The seller insists I was too late for a refund, but I also got no support. They just didn't care that their products are defective and incomplete so if you do buy, open fast and have a keen eye that will tell you whether or not the product is defective and/or incomplete without installing it. You can't? Tough luck.

When I was finally ready to do te job, I got my first surpirse - no thermostat though one was advertised.  Of course I was told it must be in the box, look for it. Well it's not a tiny part or a big box - it just wasn't there.

Second surprise - I'm a DYI'er and I have done this job before on other dryers, but not a pro.  I installed the element with the old thermostat, just as the first one was. Buttoned up the machine turned it on and it ran great - but ZERO HEAT!

I opened it up again, I ohmed everything out and seemed to be ok.  But I am not a pro, so I finally called one.

And for $125 he determined my installation was proper and the element was defective.

He reinstalled the old element and thermostat and now, for the tidy sum of $155 - the cost of the product and the cost of the pro - I am exactly right back where I started!

I don't know if my situation was typical or not. I chose THE CHEAPEST UNIT I COULD FIND so maybe that;s my bad.

Anyone wanna buy an unused heating element? As a paperweight?!
