Product review (5 stars): Save money and fix your own dryer
Fixed my dryer for 20 bucks rather than the 200 it would have cost to hire a repair man. My dryer is Amana NED7200TW but I think this part is used on multiple models. My dryer would spin but not heat. I first suspected the heating element but it looked fine, eventually found this part had rusted and was partially shorted. If you suspect this part needs to be replaced you should first remove it and test with a multimeter. When functioning normally the resistance of this part at room temp is around 10k ohms. If it is significantly lower or higher buy this (assuming it is the right one for your machine). Before buying any replacement parts clean your dryer vent and see if your problem resolves.
