Kenmore Elite dryer heater safety devices.
Parts installed and operating. Your rep was excellent. The online catalogue listed the wrong part. Your rep found the right part and sent it to me. It arrived very quickly and was an exact replacement. The only issue (reason for less that 5 stars) is it's priced about 4 times what it should be.

Fixed the problem
I only needed one of the parts ordered so I returned the other one. My only complaint was that I was told I could return to a store even if it was in the process of closing. That was untrue.

broken
The part came in two pieces, It did not look broken at all. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to snap back together and finally realized it was broken. I super glued it and it's working fine after a month of use.
