Product review (5 stars): First experience with electric dryers
My existing electric dryer had suddenly stopped working.  Not really knowing anything about appliances and having never owned an electric dryer, I opened up the back and started visually inspecting.  A little online research led me to purchase a continuity tester and I started testing the 5 or so non-resettable "fuses" or thermostats on the back of the dryer, all of which had full continuity.  I finally removed the main heating element towards the bottom of the dryer - no continuity.  I started looking around at the appliance parts stores and they were all about 50-60 dollars for a new heat element.  Checking Amazon i found the same part for about 20 dollars and it got to me in three days.  Perfect fit, and the dryer seems to work better than when it was new.
