Product review (5 stars): I ordered this part and then read some more reviews ...
I ordered this part and then read some more reviews on here and was convinced I was going to receive a cheap imitation. So I went to my local Whirlpool Authorized Dealer and got the part for $90 and installed it and got my dryer working again. I had planned to return this item after I received it. When the order came from Amazon, it was the EXACT same part I got at my authorized dealer for 3 times the cost. The box was the exact same, down to the sticker on the side that said "Made in Mexico". Even the "Authorized Dealer" box said that. The part itself is exactly the same, the same markings on the part, the wire looked exactly the same size as the original, everything. I am going to keep the part from Amazon to have on hand as a spare for the next time it goes out. Obviously I can't say I have tested it out but I am convinced it is the same exact part I got from the dealer so I would use it with confidence. I only wish I had waited for the Amazon part to come, I spent 3 times the amount of money at my local "Authorized Dealer". In the picture I have the boxes from my dealer and from Amazon. Already had the part itself installed so can't do a side by side of them, but they are exactly the same.
