The kit works as described, but it does take complete disassembly of the dryer (everything is installed from the front of the machine) to install it. I opted to call a service guy to do mine, $65 well spent. According to Samsung, this kit fits all their dryers....that was a problem for me, since my 6 year old dryer has been discontinued I couldn't find out if it would work. Getting in touch with Samsung answered my question. If your mechanically adept, this isn't really difficult to install, but you do have to know where to start. While i suspect the service manual will guide you though that the service call is a lot easier. As for the price, well; the elbow is stainless steel, and the extra parts allow for you to install any configuration of discharge, bottom (what I needed) or either side (on electric dryers). All in all, while it's probably overpriced, it beats trying to cobble something together.
