Product review (1 stars): Quality has dropped like a rock
This component died on my dryer and I got a replacement from a local store. Given that the original had lasted over a decade, the one from the local store died within 3-4 months (too late to return/replace). Bought it from Amazon directly from Whirlpool, and this one is working great now - it's been over a year now and hope it goes on forever like the original.

Update: it finally died just over a month ago, so I ordered a new one to replace it. New one lasted just over a month (too late to do anything per Amazon policy). Downgrading rating for an item that doesn't even last a few months when it should last a few years at a minimum.
