Product review (5 stars): Easy
Easy to install new element. My old is 1996 Kenmore and some slight variance in stamping of metal housing but fit easy enough. The supplied upper thermo sensor is radically different type than OEM in my unit but fit OK. Didn't need replacement wire or clips but nice touch. Ended up with extra (now spare) screw fastener after install. Only caution is + and - not clearly indicated on sensors or power connector pins; followed instincts based on existing and got it first time. FYI I used shop vac to first clean all of old lint around, under and inside machine and vent tube. Now runs hot and true-- death to damp towels.

PS Pull the plug before you start. Einstein hair doesn't make you smarter.
