I had a real problem with the dryer working for two weeks or so and then just quit heating. I could play with wires and connections and it sometimes would work for a time or two or for a week. I kept playing with it to determine that it was actually this pieces since it is a pretty expensive part. I had resorted to only masking tape the front cover to the dryer so I didn't have to pull it out every time to screw the top back down. So far the dryer is working fine since I replaced this part. Nothing I read ever said this part could be the problem which is why I took so long to buy it.. Also, the price was the cheapest at this website. Thank you
