    The product was a perfect fit for my Roper REX5634KQ1 dryer. Dries loads in half the time now. The staff was beyond helpful with finding and fixing my issue. Couldn't be happier!

    This worked as a perfect replacement for the heating element and the thermostat for my Roper REX5634kQ1 electric dryer. The whole replacement took about 15 minutes and didn't require any special tools. I didn't need the fuse, but it may not have been compatible with this model. Just a heads up in case you were planning on switching that out too. Make sure to check the part number in that case.

  • Great product

    This was a perfect fit for our Kenmore 500 series dryer. To no fault of Speedy Appliance the part took longer than expected to arrive, but that was the postal services fault. Will 100% recommend and reorder from this site.
