Product review (5 stars): Couldn't ask for an easier, cheaper repair
Went in just like the oem item came out. Wouldn't know it was an alternative part if not stated in item description. Wife "burned" herself on hot clothes after first couple runs. Apparently, the old element was worn out for a long while, if she didn't realize just how hot buttons can be when pulled from a fully functioning dryer.....
Not sure about longevity. Will post back if it dies while I still own it. Original unit is 10+ years old.
