Product review (5 stars): Newer than new, better than the original part.
The product is better than I hoped.  It is a brand new factory part.  It's not the original part WHICH IS A GOODS THING, IT TURNS OUT.  There was a bad batch of the original part.  A design flaw caused it to overheat and burn out the (non-replaceable) mechanical motor switch after about 8-10 years of use.  So this is the redesigned part # which replaces (in all new machines and any old machines where you are lucky enough to get the new version as a replacement part).
