LA-1044 LA1044 Dryer Heat Element & L248-80 LA-1053 Dryer Thermostat Fuse Kit Compatible with Admiral AP4242494 PS2162280 LA-1044VP

The fit and install were flawless. One thing...it come with two small heat sensors. In the instructions the each have a different color dot to indicate whether it's for a gas or electric drier. Would work great if the color dots were the same as the instructions...but they're not. Here's the tip....the temperature is marked on them colder one is for gas drier hotter for electric drier. I learned this by putting the cooler one in my electric drier. Had to swap it out for the hotter one. But that helpful tidbit is not included in the instructions.

Lasted 18 months with daily use on high heat. If you use your dryer every 2 or 3 days, I suppose this should last 3 or 4 years or even more if you use your dryer on medium heat.

The heating element die. This is my second purchase, the first purchase I made was a little over a year ago in 2020. I replaced the fuses and the heating element, back then. It made it about a year, maybe less on the first purchase. So I decided to purchase it again, my mistake! The second purchased was in December of 2021 and as of Jan 11, 2022 the heating element has felling apart, which mean it die within weeks of purchasing it.

1st of all the element did work. I pulled out of package and the stem it sits on broke off and I had to JB weld it. Heats well but there is a slight odor probably due to to the weld getting warm but I'm not a technician.
