Why would I want to buy the more expensive part?

Duh silly. Didnt you see? The 2nd link is from "Pros". Just like it
says in their name. Its just gotta be better. :-) NOT !!!

Just in the FWIW dept- the last parts I ordered were from
appliancepartspros.com. I usually order from repairclinic.com. This
time they didn't have one of the 2 parts I needed. The other $20ish
part was the same price in both places.

As to the original question- 'Who knows' - sometimes OEM is better-
sometimes no difference.

Repairclinic.com guarantees all their parts [for a year?]. I had an
igniter go bad after a few months and they sent me new one. Still
good 7 years later.
