Continuing in to off-topic-ness, I had to replace the heater element on our Samsung dryer at about 6 years of age or so. It wasn't hard, but I have really good mechanical aptitude (for lack of a better way to put it). I think you should have attempted disassembly yourself (without buying the heater element first), just to see if it was actually hard to do. You might have surprised yourself.

I halfway disassembled it, and I knew I could do it, I just value my free time more than that (I'd rather spend the $400 to have my weekend). The other concern is a heating element is a relatively simple thing, so for that to go out after 3 years, I was concerned other things would go out too, making me have to fix it again.
