It lasted 3 years and 7 months for me.
I purchased a similar item from a separate vendor, but returned it because it made my dryer, in my opinion, dangerously hot. Then I purchased this one in May of 2022 and it worked well with appropriate heat. Fast forward to December of 2025 and this part just faulted and no longer works. It lasted 3 years and 7 months. Now, to me that is sufficient for a 5 star review. I just re-purchased this part from same vendor. I’ll come back in another 3 and half years to tell you how it is doing.

It's a direct replacement. No special tool needed for Installation
I purchased this dryer heating element ove 6 months ago, and its still working loke a champ, I'm satisfied with the quality. The original heating element had failed, leaving my dryer useless. After installing this replacement element, my dryer is now working like new again. It is a perfect replacement for my Whirlpool dryer's heating element, easy to install, even for a DIY novice like myself, no special tools needed, it works flawlessly, drying clothes quickly and efficiently. If you're experiencing issues with your dryer's heating element, I highly recommend the W10724237 Dryer Heating Element by Romalon. Its compatibility with multiple models. It's high-quality construction, and ease of installation make it an excellent choice. Don't hesitate to give it a try! Tips for Installation: - Make sure to unplug your dryer before starting the installation process. - Follow the manufacturer's instructions for a seamless replacement. - Test your dryer after installation to ensure the heating element is working correctly.

You get approx 1 year out of this
Reason for 3 star price is good and my 3rd one. I get approx 1yr out of but much cheaper then new dryer and easy to change out. Just wish they last longer never leave review on anything till you used for a while.

Poor quality, lasted less than 5 months, ceramic insulators all broken, heater element too thin
This heater element worked well for only five months and than it shorted out. Found the heater element thinner than my original. I found all the ceramic insulators (thinner than my orginal) were broken when I removed it to find that the wire had a break was underneath. I suspect that since the heating element wire was thinner it may expanded more and shorted out to the next roll.

Not What I Needed — Check Your Part First
I ended up not needing this heating element. Before you order, I definitely recommend checking your heating element first to make sure that’s actually the issue. In my case, the problem was the thermostats, not the element. Just sharing so someone else doesn’t waste time or money like I did!
