Reviews
Worked perfectly, fitment precise
Easily replaced in less than 10 mins. I did a quick check before final install to make sure this was my root problem. Element heated quickly and I verified functionality which ultimately solved my dryer issue.

Correct part for my kenmore electric dryer
Easy to remove old part and install new part. However, it turns out it was my timer dial. I called my appliance guy after it would heat and then not heat. He deduced the timer was being touchy. Oh well
