Product review (1 stars): Bad, flimsy, rip-off, do not purchase
Original handle lasted 12 years.  This piece of crappy, flimsy plastic did not even survive 3 months.  It came apart at the junction where the screw ends and the handle starts.  It was only used for a couple of loads/week and not abused in any way.  Whirlpool/Amazon, if you are indeed monitoring these reviews, please contact me for an opportunity to make things right and redeem yourselves.  Until then, please stop ripping off people's money with this "quality OEM" product.

Update on 08/15/2014 - Please see the uploaded Customer Image of the broken handle.  Amazon should really stop selling this item.  Do yourself a favor and order the metal handle available elsewhere for $40 (includes Shipping).  Google for "Kenmore dryer replacement metal handle".
