Product review (4 stars): Good quality, exact replacement part, decent price
After my dryer slowly got worse in it's ability to actually dry anything, I researched on the internet what could possibly be wrong.  There were 2 or 3 things that could have been wrong, and the heater element seemed to be the chief suspect.  After measuring the resistance of the old part to show that it was an "open circuit" (no electrical connection at all somewhere in the heater), I had my answer-the heating element was bad.

After reading some poor reviews of cheaper replacement parts, I decided to buy the real deal Whirlpool part.  The price difference on the internet is crazy!  It was a reasonable price here.  It was quite a chore getting the part back in the old machine, but there's lots of videos on YouTube that shows you exactly how to do it.  After installing, the dryer worked like new.  It has been about 2 months now, with no problems.

I saved hundreds of dollars on the cost of a new machine or a service visit!
