Product review (4 stars): Connectors were different than those on my dryer
Got my dryer, drying again. The 4 vs 5 star is because the connectors on the new heating element are different than those that were on my dryer. My connectors from my dryer to the original element are long, thin and cylindrical. The male connectors on the replacement are 3/8" spade style. Amazon does not have the connectors I needed. I sourced them online (they were hard to find), the 3/8" female connectors I found were originally for a Volkswagen car. I had to very slightly squeeze them to get a nice tight fit on the new element. Once I did that the dryer is back up and running. I know my dryer is old, I have had it 30 years and I bought it used !! So I guess some updated connectors are not too much of a big deal but, for me, it wasn't a direct replacement so just a warning to those with an ancient dryer, you might run into the same situation I did.
