Product review (4 stars): 15 min saves a ~$125 service call
This product is a very cost effective way to repair your dryer in ~15 minutes.  I bought my Whirlpool dryer in 2004 and need to replace this component about every 3 years.  The first time it went out, the repairman told me how to do it.  Now, I do it myself  I unplug the dryer, remove the front bottom panel, unplug/unscrew the part, pull out the old element, push in the new one, connect/screw it in, replace the front panel, plug in the dryer, and Im done.  (Dont worry, there are Youtube's to show you the steps.)  This part, and a few minutes, have saved me a $125 service call and days of wet laundry.
