Product review (5 stars): Dialed in for drying!
Literally better than new. We used our Whirlpool/Amana Dryer for 5 years. It always took at least 2 full cycles to dry a normal load of laundry. Finally the Origional Timer gave out completely. We used an ohm meter and first tested the element. The element checked out perfect. Then we checked both Thermostats. Those both checked out fine. Then finally we checked the Timer dial. It indicated that it had failed. Its a VERY simple install.. In fact my Wife did it for fun. She wants to learn how to fix all the things around the house as I will not be here down the road. That's a long story, but simply put, I started tobacco use at 13 years old and never quit. I am 43 now and the damage is done.. Moving along.. My Wife enjoy's tackling the different little projects around the house that most people pay technitions and repair techs a great deal of money to do. This entire repair cost us only the cost of the new part. I think it was 53 bucks here on Amazon with free Prime shipping. It took 2 days to get here and we had it installed an hour after it arrived. I have done 4 loads of laundry and the part works perfectly. The local appliance parts center wanted 109 dollars for it. WE always like to support the local guy, but over double the price was just to much for us going into the Christmas season. We are trying to save some money for the kids Christmas presents.
