What to know before buying

The listing advises disconnecting power before installation and wearing gloves because the element edge is sharp. It also recommends photographing wiring and component positions before disassembly.

Listing details to confirm

Confirm your dryer's complete model number and replacement part number against the manufacturer's fit list before ordering. The listing title, model field and part-number field name overlapping but different model codes, so their exact relationship is unclear.
