| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |

Questions & Answers (1)
According to your compatibility checker this part, 40012178, is compatible with a Candy CS V9LF-80 (3110090217390153) however you also list RS905429 (41042959) on your website which is also compatible. The part number of the current element in the dryer is 41042959 but your other product listing is over 60% more expensive that this one. Can you confirm if this part, RS905422, is definitely compatible and if so what the difference is with RS905429?
