Product review (5 stars): MMMMMMMHHHHHHMMMMM HOT AND DRY CLOTHES
Fantastic OEM replacement heating element. Install was a breeze. Received it in two days with prime. Came in a box that was branded Whirlpool Corporation Factory Certified Parts. Installed it in my Whirlpool Dryer model LER8648PQ1. Feels sturdy. Heats like a champ. I went with this replacement part because I read a lot of negative reviews for other cheaper aftermarket elements. Figured I'd go with the OEM version. At $35, it's still a HUGE bargain compared to the $85 + shipping Whirlpool wants for this element. Popped it right in with no issues. The first 20-30 seconds of heat up gave a slight burning smell. This is NORMAL. I suggest running it for about five minutes with no clothes inside to burn it in. Afterwards I was drying all those nasty drawers I had accumulated while my element was broken. I will update this post every six months to keep everyone posted on how long this replacement lasts. That will be the real test of quality. I expect it to last quite a while. Great seller, price, and product. Thanks!
