Product review (5 stars): Fixed failing heat mid cycle problem
We have a Whirlpool Duet gas dryer purchased in about 2005. It started turning off the heat mid cycle. We almost thought it was shot, and thought about getting a new one. Good thing I did some investigating on-line. This was the part that had failed, and it was a very easy repair. We just saved ourselves $1200+ for a new dryer.
Many of the dryer fixes are cheap and easy and there are a lot of helpful videos on line to help you fix it yourself, step by step.
Note: Be sure to save the metal center piece from the old part. The new ones don't come with that. It won't work without it.
