It is the exact replacement fit. The oven is ready for baking, again. I cant really comment on the longevity of this new oven element, because only time will tell. However, the fact that it is a genuine, American made unit, I have no reason to think that it will fail in a short time. The original served us for 7 years.

very good...

My oven element burnt out mid bread bake. Due to Covid-19 trying to get replacement parts, yet alone a new oven that I actually would want to buy all being on back order. I searched high and low for a replacement element very thoroughly. My husband suggested Amazon. I always shop Amazon, but never thought to check. I wanted something that was certified and an actual replacement part. An oven can be a dangerous appliance if the parts are not authentic parts. I chose this company over another. The price was a little bit higher then another seller, but the reviews and info on this seller. It convinced me to try. Need I mention the price was 1/2 of what I was being quoted by other suppliers/distributors and local appliance suppliers. Received in a timely manner, packaged well and received in great shape. After following some Youtube videos, I was able to remove the oven door, the floor of the oven covering the element, the old burnt out element and had to take off the back of the range to get to the plug ins for the element. Reassembled and voila the oven is working again. Saved me a TON of money and saved all my bakes. Highly recommend.

If you can use a screwdriver and watch YouTube you can change this element. If you can use a multimeter even better but not required.

My oven wasn’t heating and due to the shield over my bottom main element, I didn’t notice it was not heating until troubleshooting why. This would have been a super easy fix for my oven had the wires not slipped back into the oven upon removing the old element. If you make sure to keep hold of them, this is super quick. Still going strong 2 months later.

Our oven decided to break Thanksgiving Eve. I couldn’t believe that neither one of the two local appliance repair businesses had this element in stock. Especially since it fits many manufacturers ovens. This element was half the price of the factory replacement part. Very easy install and works perfectly.

Our range died!! I purchased this range and it has been a surprise how quickly it gets from warm to hot. The stove is basically new again.

We discovered a faulty baking element when the oven temperature would not rise above 315 degrees F; and it took over 30 minutes just to get to that point. Upon removal, the old element had visual damage to one of the bends, and when checked with a multimeter there was no continuity/resistance. After research, a new part was found on Amazon at a great price, and available for speedy delivery. The item we received was an exact replacement for use in a Whirlpool model WFE540H0AS0. The size and shape of the baking element was the same, and even the markings on the badge were identical. Just for giggles, we checked the resistance of the new element and it measured at approximately 17 ohms -- which depending on your reference -- is apparently in the ballpark of what you should expect. Overall, the part was delivered quickly, packaged safely, and works as expected. After a quick, easy installation the oven is back in business. Let pizza time commence!

I wanted to order an OEM element but they only seemed to be available from sears. I found this one that is made in the USA so I gave it a try. This one is identical to the one that I removed, down to the rear plate that screws in to affix it to the range. Arrived undamaged and was super easy to install, took all of 10 minutes and that included pulling the range out from the wall to unplug from the power. If you have a Phillips(4way) screwdriver you can install this yourself. I left the bottom cover off initially(the one that covers the element) and ran a test preheat so I could visually verify it worked before I finished putting it back together and that is the photo shown on my review. It took 7 to 8 minutes to reach a temperature of 350 which I think is pretty standard. I cant speak to its longevity but it does appear to heat evenly just from looking at the lack of discoloration and consistent color of the element when in use.

Fit my stove and fixed the problem.
