Product review (2 stars): Poorly engineered plastic
As many reviews have stated, the replacement dryer door handle also cracked and eventually broke off (after about 1 year) in a similar manner as the original.  Rather than ordering another piece of poorly engineered plastic, I took the recommendation to get the USA-made replacement handle manufactured from Ohio Solutions and Design.  Sure, it is about twice the price but it is a beautifully crafted, exact replica, perfectly fitting, high strength, solid aluminum handle for Kenmore Elite dryers.  It also came with the attached inner surface rubber padding.  I am totally satisfied with my decision!
