Product review (4 stars): Good, quality item.
No, it is not original, but the working parts of this item are good quality. There's no "bait & switch" here. The cheap parts referred to by the two 1 star reviews is the chassis which is a thinner gage than the original. This is not going to make the part wear out faster. What will make the part wear out is not keeping the dryer exhaust ducting clean which will cause the heating element to overheat and will cause the chassis to crack and buckle. That's what I did, I'll admit that.
