Good dryer heating element - long transit time.
Perfect fit, exact match. I was a little surprised at the delivery time - shipped from California to the east coast. Took quite a while to get here.

I didn't realize that I needed another part to it and I had to spend an extra 60 bucks to fix it. That did not make me happy

Fit perfectly
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.
