Review on Supco SET184 Thermal Cutoff Kit: Reliable Overheat Protection for Appliances by Will Kern

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The idea was that if one set failed I would still use another set

I had read reviews of cheap parts before buying. I figured the parts prices were low enough to buy two sets of parts. The idea was that if one set failed I would still use another set and hopefully save money on the price of the original parts. I thoroughly cleaned my dryer as recommended by several technicians. onto a U pipe and replaced the exhaust pipe with a new one just to make sure everything was in order to install the new parts when they arrived. They came and I installed them. The first set took about four drying cycles before the thermal fuse blew. The second set took almost a drying cycle before the thermal fuse blew. I finally decided to drive to a nearby town where the OEM parts store was located and bought OEM parts for $43. I've installed the original parts and dried over 18 batches of clothes with no problems. I didn't save money by buying cheap parts. maybe you will
