Product review (5 stars): Saved a professional housecall
My Kenmore Dryer stopped working; no heat. After watching some helpful DIY videos on YouTube, I was able to diagnose the problem. The heating element was not working. I called local repair/parts stores to find a new element would cost $60 or more. I turned to Amazon.com and found this element for a nice low price of $25.58 incl shipping! A savings of $150 or more if I called for a servce tech to make a repair call. Letting my wife know it would be a few days before I could repair the dryer, I ordered the element on a Wednesday and received it on the following Saturday. One half hour later, the dryer was drying again.

Replacement of the heating element is a matter of unplugging the dryer from it's electrical source; removing the back cover; disconnecting a few wires and removing two screws that hold the element to the vent. I had to swap the High limit thermostat from the bad unit to the replacement unit. The new element does not include this thermostat. No directions are needed for this step as it will be self explanatory when you look at both units.

The quality of this new element looks to be no different than the original. It was identical inappearance to the original and was removed and re-attached with no problems. Needless to say; I am happy with this purchase and hope this review is helpful.
