Product review (3 stars): Not a a Whirlpool part
I received the element quickly, but when I opened the box I noticed the heating element had no part number and was stamped only with the word CHINA.  I followed the directions on a YouTube video and removed the old element in less than ten minutes.  The new element was approximately 1/16" longer (I measured both using a ruler) which caused some installation problems because the retention screws did not align properly. Fortunately I was able to get one screw partially secured and then incrementally added the others and tightened them sequentially while manipulating the element.  Installation of the new element required 45 minutes.  I plugged in the dryer and gave it a test run before installing the front cover. The element glowed red and appeared to be functioning properly, so I buttoned up the chassis and ran a load of white towels as a test. The new element required more time to dry the towels than the original equipment element.  A load of towels previously required 59 minutes but the new element needed another 10 to completely dry.  Disappointing.  It works, but not as well as the original element.
