I Ordered the dryer Heating Element Kit. The only thing that was needed was the Thermostat at this time. It took longer to clean out behind the dryer, than it did to install the thermostat. I have an Admiral Dryer, the instructions to pop the top off were great that was all that was needed to get to the thermostat & replace it. However, I am glad that I ordered the kit, as I am sure the other part will be needed at some point in time.
