Product review (4 stars): 1 a year
The heating element went out on my dryer after owning it for just over a year. We bought a replacement, and it too went out within the year. We are now on our second replacement heating element; however, I don't know if this is an issue with the dryer or element. I'm thinking it's a dryer issue as I've read several reviews with the same problem.

If your dryer's heating element went out, this is a cheaper alternative than a new dryer in the short run; although, if the one a year trend keeps up, it will definitely get costly to keep replacing it.
