Review on High-Quality Dryer Replacement Kit: 8544771 Heating Element, 279973 Thermal Fuse, 3392519 Fuse and 279816 Thermostat - Compatible with Maytag, Kenmore and More by Richard Cuneo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The heating element works like a charm once you get the right one.

First of all I made the mistake of ordering a very similar but not exactly the part I wanted and had to send it back. Check your manufacturer's parts manuals wherever you are and get the right one. It was still being developed for multiple brands using this kit (Samsung, Kenmore, Whirlpool) so I ended up with a couple of sensors that didn't really describe where they went and/or didn't match my dryer. The heating element REALLY worked like a charm and it was the only part I really had to replace. You get extra stuff with this kit, but it's still MUCH cheaper than the factory kit. You will get dirty and will have to disassemble most of the dryer. When opening, be sure to remove all lint and dust from anywhere inside.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • High price
