Installation of Dryer heating element
I would have paid $60-90 at a repair shop, not counting the labor cost and travel charge. I really didn't think this would work, but it works beautiful. I'm so impressed with Walmarts shipping service and in store pickup! I just needed my dryers serial and model number. Was installed by me in about 15-minutes! The re-hooking up of my dryer vent was a lot harder.
