Product review (4 stars): Works fine so far
This part was not the same as the original.  It was slightly lighter in weight and was not labeled Panasonic.  Appearance and fit is identical to the original and so far, the function is fine.  I hope it lasts at least 2 years.  The original motor became very noisy after less than 2 years and the first replacement (Panasonic) lasted right around 2 years before becoming annoying.  I expect this one will be no different.
