Fits, works, quality is ok.
Fit our whirlpool dryer. These seem to last about 2-3 years before the coil breaks.

dryer works again
My dryer is over 20 years old! This is the second heating element I've gone through, the last one I bought was about a year ago. So for under $30 i got my dryer back up and running. Takes about 10 minutes to replace if you've done it before. If i can get another year out of this one, I'll be happy.

Dryer not heating, Resolved!
My Maytag electric dryer stopped heating during the drying cycle. The machine powered on, the drum would spin but no heat. After watching all 3 relevant YouTube videos on the subject and receiving $150 quotes from local repairmen, I decided I'd take a shot at it myself. Changing a heating element or thermal fuse or any of the other components in the kit is fairly straightforward, and I would suggest replacing everything that the kit provides. I can't speak to the longevity or quality of the parts just yet, but it's a great start. I would recommend this to anyone who has a dryer that won't get hot.

Short lived
We purchased and installed just as instructed and all seemed to be fine at first, the coils aren’t heating up the dryer and when we looked at the coils one coil has bent and broken I am not happy with this. We didn’t even have it in our dryer that long. Now I need to find new and reliable heating coils so I can dry my clothes.

Very good replacement
Second time using this part to replace in the heating element my Whirlpool Dryer. That's about 3 years between each purchase. I'm very happy considering it's workload. Heats very well. Make sure to run for about 10 min alone after installation.

Funciono muy bien

Primero lo que noté es que la secadora se tardaba más en secar la ropa y segundo duró solamente 5 meses y se reventó! Mejor invertir en una pieza original que dure más tiempo. Vas a pagar más por la instalación
