Product review (1 stars): the thermostat that comes with the element is not meant ...
the thermostat that comes with the element is not meant to be the one that is installed ON the thermostat. they look totally different. I went to appliance zone online and ordered the exact thermostat for my element after using this one and it burning up the new element in just a month. wrong parts being sold together. I assumed it was an upgraded thermostat due to the difference in physical appearance. I was wrong. my dryer has 3 thermostats and the one in this kit is not meant to be installed on the heating element. not sure why these parts are sold together. would not recommend
