Product review (1 stars): Lasted 6 Months - Waste of Money!
Original element failed after like 6 years.  This one lasted 6 months.  Dryer was cleaned of dust when the replacement was installed.  My guess is that the heating element alloy is of inferior quality.  The nichrome heating wire was visibly thinned in certain areas from oxidation with a black residue on the aluminum support plate.  From what I understand the nichrome wire is supposed to form a protective oxide coating when it gets hot.  There were sections of the wire where the oxide formed and maybe flaked off.  I temporarily repaired the broken wire with a steel crimp until the replacement arrives.  When I fire up the dryer, you can kind of peek into the heating chamber and see that the side which had the most wire oxidation is running much hotter than the other side.
