Product review (5 stars): Apparently we needed this from square one
Our dryer has quite high ratings online that just didn't match our experience. We wondered for a long time if we had gotten a lemon. We generally had to dry loads multiple times. Finally the heating element went out. We purchased this. The box is printed as being a whirlpool factory certified part (not just stamped). What has really gotten our attention is that now our dryer is acting more like other reviewers have claimed that it should have in the first place. So far this part has turned our lemon into lemonade. Our dryer finally works the way it was supposed to.
