Product review (1 stars): Four months later and the part fails
I bought this element based upon the price. Well, the old saying is that you get what you pay for and in this case it applies. Fixing appliances is not my profession but I have repaired my own washers, dryers, dishwashers, etc....for about 22 years so take that for what it's worth. In December of 2012 my dryer quit heating. I pulled the back panel, tested the element with a multimeter, and the result was no continuity. Upon complete removal i found the break on the back side. I ordered the element via Amazon and installed without any problems. The element worked well for 4 months and then the same problem arose - no heat. I pulled the back panel, used my multimeter, and again no continuity. I then found the break by running my finger along the inside portion of the housing. So for all of the savings I only got 4 months usage. I will spend the extra $ and buy an approved part from the manufacturer this time.
