Bought used washer/dryer from someone who was told it would cost hundreds to repair dryer. Replaced several parts for under $100 and was using it in no time.

All went well but I should have entered the part number instead of the dryer model number. I didn't need the kit because mine was wired different. All I needed was the high limit thermostat. Trial and error... Now I have a spare high limit kit:)
