This review is from: Whirlpool Kenmore Dryer Element 8544771
This fit my Kenmore HE dryer perfectly, and I can't believe the difference it made in drying times. Mine has been taking longer and longer to dry for the past year, until it finally burnt out a week before Christmas.
The cause of mine going out was that I had a clogged exhaust pipe last winter. I didn't realize that when that happened, it leaked air out of the seams in the piping, and blew lint into the cavity that the heating element sits in. The lint attached itself to the coil of the heating element and left residue on it as it burned off, weakening the coil.
So, just a heads up, this problem could have been prevented if I had cleaned out the area around the heating element when the clog in the exhaust happened. I'll be checking it regularly from now on.
