Good dryer heating element - long transit time.

Fit perfectly
August 15, 2021

Installed it myself. I wouldn't call it easy, but maybe I am not doing the best way. Took over an hour to open up the dryer, remove old element, install new and put panels back on the dryer. Hopefully, it lasts longer than the aftermarket one I installed about 12 months ago.
