Review: This will repair your dryer quick and easy for a low price. - This works great.Repaired my older GE dryer perfectly.Saved me hundreds of dollars and was a 30 minute project.Glad I bought it.Be sure to take the duct work off from around the fan and clean it out.
Review: Easy install on Kenmore—UPDATE - June 2022–has stopped working. Got almost a year from it. Have ordered another, see how long the second one lasts. July 2021–Exactly the part I needed for Kenmore 500 series dryer. Found a great YouTube video and was able to install myself. Was a pretty easy to do job. Will keep an eye on how long it lasts, as read some reviews saying the element only lasted a few months. One of the coils on my element was broken, causing the issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install on Kenmore—UPDATE
*by S***W on July 5, 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Product
*by C***E on January 15, 2026*

We've been using this product for several years now. Lasts longer than a year, which is great and much cheaper than the laundromat. We received one that a metal prong abruptly broke off of and they replaced the next day. Wonderful service and great inexpensive product.
