I had some issues during installation with this kit, but once in place, it seemed to have fixed the problem with my dryer. Not the smoothest experience, but results were satisfactory.

The thermostat and fuse kit did the job in getting my dryer back to working condition. However, the installation was a bit tricky and the instructions could be clearer.

The Whirlpool dryer thermostat and fuse kit did the job, but I wish it came with clearer installation instructions. Had to rely on online tutorials to get it right.

Mixed feelings about this kit. It fixed the issue with my dryer initially, but the thermostat failed again after a few months. Not sure if it's worth the investment.
