Heating element for our dryer.

It works no better than the one we had. In other words...it work when it wants to.

Now Heats Like A Brand New Dryer!!!

My dryer has been heating like a brand new dryer. Great part versus the last one that I purchased from Amazon(only lasted 91 days)....You can really tell the difference in quality when looking at the craftsmanship of the element. Will purchase from here again if needed for another appliance.
