Product review (5 stars): I sawed a hole in my element housing.... don't do that.
Replaced heating element in my old whirlpool dryer. The unit was a bit tricky to place, due to the cowl around the element in my model of dryer, but that was more due to a lack of patience/understanding/lack-of-experience on my part.

Word of advice to anyone doing this repair for the first time: My dryer had a strap at the top of the cowl(element cover) that was hidden from all angles. I had to remove the top cover of the dryer in order to find the strap. So before you saw into the element mount (I didn't saw all the way through, thankfully), do a full cursory inspection of the unit to verify that you CAN in fact remove the cowl.
