Product review (5 stars): Heating element for Whirlpool dryer
I bought this item because my dryer wasn't heating up.  The estimate from the appliance repair company was extremely high.  Assuming this could be the defective part, I thought I would try to repair it myself.  However, my electrician, who was scheduled to do other work, removed the old heating element and replaced it with this part with no significant increase in his charge.  The old heating element had a broken coil.  Now the dryer is working great.
