Product review (5 stars): Spend a little more and get a lot more value
First off, this is an initial review.  I will certainly update it if this part does not last.  The element is a quality OEM part just like they claim. It takes longer to reinstall the rear panel than it does to change out the element. I replaced the high level thermostat as well since I had the dryer apart.  I was torn between the element that is half the cost of this one just as you may be.  I am just like most others on here, looking for the deal.  However, a "deal" is not always about how cheap something is.  If you are repairing an appliance yourself you are already saving a lot of money!  My neighbor said he paid over $200 to have the element replaced on his dryer.  Low prices on certain items make me question their quality.  This is one of those items.  I chose this item due to the reviews of the less expensive element stating of it's failure within months.  I would be angry with myself if I purchased the cheap one and had to replace it (with this part) in six months.
