Great price and has everything you need to fix dryer heat
I love that this comes with all the parts you need to fix the heating in your dryer. It does not come with instructions, though it doesn't really need them. I am a woman, and I was able to do it within 10 minutes, with no instructions, and no how-to video either. The best thing to do is to take pictures of where the wires go and to which part. I highly recommend you get this set if your not sure what is causing your dryer not to heat up. It pretty much replaces everything you need in this one kit. And for the price, unbelievable. When I got done with replacing all of the parts, the dryer started heating up in no time. Also works great and durable. I do not regret getting this for a second. I HIGHLY recommend.

Works perfectly and was easy to install
Was a perfect match for my dryer! Installed with no issues! I just went ahead and replaced all the parts. My dryer is running like new! Thanks! Service company quoted me $150 for just the timer switch, and $75 labor. I replaced everything for $50 +tax! I will NEVER again pay for someone to fix my dryer! It’s super easy and way way cheaper! I recommend! This kit did not include the timer, I purchased that separate for $25 as well on Amazon.

Easy install and works well
Easy to install, works like a charm so far. The last heating element I bought was done in months, but this one seems higher quality.

Inferior quality, DO NOT BUY, potentially dangerous
As others have reported, the replacement heating element stopped working after a few weeks. But I'm here to tell you EXACTLY what the problem is.1. The resistance coil is attached to a metal plate that is TOO THIN. There are also a lot of large holes in the metal plate that were made to allow clips to be mounted. The resistance coil is attached to these clips, which appear to be made of ceramic. The OEM version has thicker metal for the plate, and the mounting holes are much smaller.The result here is that the metal plate begins to warp outward under the heat stress, most especially the heat stress coming from the coil, which sits between the metal plate and the metal mount on which the heating element is attached. Eventually, the metal plate warps enough that some part of the coil will touch the metal housing. Instant short to ground, accompanied by a tripped breaker and likely rupture of the resistance coil.2. The resistance coil itself is TOO THIN, notably thinner than the OEM version. Among other things, this means that this coil will have more of a tendency to warp and will have a much shorter life span.I've included a photo of the heating element where you can see the carbon build up on the metal plate. The plate is easily bent with a little hand pressure and is flaking off residue due to rapid corrosion. When I opened the back of the dryer, you could see flakes of corrosion building up inside the dryer housing along the bottom.So understand: You have been warned. The OEM version came in a box clearly marked "Whirlpool Corporation Factory Certified Parts." To be sure, inspect the plate and coil and compare with the old OEM version if you still have that available.

High heat setting causes failure.
I've purchased several of these over the course of 3 years, almost purchased a new dryer, but figured I'd try a couple things first. I cleaned out my dryer vents in the back of the unit, making sure there was no obstructions. After that I put the new unit in and it blew within 2 weeks. This happened several times in a short period. I eventually decided to run these on medium heat only, never running the dryer on high heat. That resolved the failures, after switching to medium heat and never running it on high heat, I have had my dryer work for well over a year now. So if you are experiencing repeated failures try forgetting he high heat setting and making medium heat your setpoint limit. This saved me from buying a new dryer or experiencing repeated failures.
