AE-SELECT 3387747 Electric Dryer Heating Element for Kenmore



Not OEM Part
Part installed fine and seems to work adequately, at least for a few cycles. But, it would have been nice if the description mentioned that this part was not an OEM part.

Update: 11/27/11
The element worked great for about 4 months then burned out. I am going with OEM part this time.

Updated: Broke after 6 months
Update: This burnt out after 6 months. Don't waste your money or you'll be replacing it again. Apparently my lasted a little longer than the others, but I wish I would've paid a little more for a better part.

The item was easily installed. I'm not a repairman, so anyone should be able to do it. For my dryer, 110.8586, it was one screw and two wires. Old one slid out and the new one slid right in. Screwed back in and then reconnected the wires. I tested it out and it was producing a lot of heat. Happy with the price and quick shipping.

Lasted just five Months
I was happy for just five Months and after reading so many customers who have been experiencing the same problem I have come to the conclusion that the quality is lacking in any of these new dryer elements. It's either you buy these elements or buy a new dryer made oversea's which is also made to the same quality standards. What a sad state of affairs. I had to once again take this dryer completely apart to replace the element. The last dryer I bought lasted fifteen years and it was made in the USA. You are lucky if you get more then a year out of any of these elements. Do the research I am not making this up.
