HAS BEEN WORKING GREAT FOR MONTHS NOW. VERY WELL PACKAGED.

Product came nicely packaged to prevent damage to the element. This igniter does not come with the mounting bracket so the original bracket must be used. This can be replaced to fix a dryer that isn't heating.Replacement is simple, begin by lifting the top panel of the dryer. Next, remove the two screw that hold on the front panel at the top. Pull the front panel away from the clips. My dryer panel had to be pulled upwards off of the clips to be removed. Once removed, depress the tensioner pulley on the belt to slide the belt off of the motor. This will allow you to remove the drum and get better access to the igniter as the igniter is very fragile. Unplug the old igniter, unscrew the mount and remove the assembly. Unscrew the old igniter from the bracket and screw the new one in until the igniter can not be moved from side to side. Do not overtighten the mounting screw. At this time, wipe off any residue that may be built up on the flame sensor or the flame eye. This is a small piece that is normally right beside the igniter. Also take the time to clean out any lint and debris from inside the cabinet. Finally, carefully slide the new igniter into place and screw the mount in. Plug the igniter in and put dryer back together. Slide the drum into place (this may be easier with two people) and slip the belt back over the motor by depressing the pulley. I would also recommend replacing the belt while you already have the drum out, but it might not be necessary. Place front panel back on and push the top back down into place.****Always remember to disconnect power and shut the gas to the dryer off prior to working on the unit.Front panel also has a door latch sensor that must be unplugged prior to removing the panel. Take a picture or mark these wires to ensure they are plugged back in the proper way.

When our dryer's ignitor went out, we struggled to find one locally. We have five people using our washer and dryer, so they get used almost daily. We found this one on Amazon. We were not thrilled with the shipping. It didn't get sent right away and was delayed, and then due to a holiday was delayed an extra day. By this time we did find one locally for $30 more! For a couple days the few items we washed were either dried at a friend's house or line dried. Finally the part arrived and it was an exact match. Super easy to install and seems to be working perfectly. I can't tell you about longevity. We haven't had it that long yet, but overall for the price and difficulty to find, waiting the extra couple days was worth it.

This part is made and packaged well. Shipped in a box with a foam insert for safety. Replaced the OEM part perfectly. Great value for the money.

Was concerned at 1st when I saw the box looked like someone stepped on it, but item was ok. Now it's installed & working. Dryer is heating up again.

At first, I thought it was used, but then I realized they had actually taken the time to test it—so they clearly do quality control. The packaging was also excellent, designed to prevent any stress that could cause it to crack on first use. I had ordered a similar part from another retailer before, and that one burned out and broke during the first install—maybe it was stressed, or maybe it was just poor quality.

Exactly what was needed to repair our dryer.
