    Great Price! easy to install. The change on the broken belt switch wiring was a surprise, but nothing that couldn't be handled.

    The motor works perfectly with our Kenmore dryer. The price is of one of the lowest in comparison to other websites or physical stores. The shipping is also lower than other websites I checked. I called multiple physical stores in my areas and checked many websites, but Aplliance Zone had the best deal and the product quality is great.
