Part works, but the terminals were damaged on arrival. Shipping also took a week longer than estimated. Order it from Amazon instead

Use online YouTube technical videos
February 08, 2022

Any DIY'ers would be wise to utilize the YouTube instructional videos. The directions that came with my product were vague at best but I had already been instructed, via online videos, to my specific make and model replacement procedures and it WAS a breeze. 25 minutes.

Easy to install.
July 13, 2021

The kit came with a thermal cut-off and a fuseable link, the fuseable link was the correct part but the thermal cut-off was not the same part number. The link was the part that I needed and worked fine.
