Replaced a burned out oven element in my Whirlpool WEE730H0D stove. Good price, fits perfectly, have used it for several weeks with no problem. Unit arrived well packed and in excellent condition. The repair is simple and there are videos for accessing the connector on the back of the stove. Obviously, unplug the stove before you do any work! Would order from this vendor again.

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.

Fit perfectly & easy to install in a Whirlpool stove-model #WFE540H0ES0(yes thats actually a model # & not a super edgy hashtag lol). I was able to get my oven up and running in around 15-20 mins. Note: While I generally dont put Im a girl in my reviews, I feel its important to note here (bc I personally know several women who wouldnt feel confident about installing this). Its a super easy repair ladies! I had it done in the amount of time it would have taken to even ask my husband to look at it. (Im generally pretty handy, but my sister could have installed this too, & home repairs are not her forte.) The only thing that looks even slightly complicated (but is easy) is removing a small plate on the back of the stove & swapping the wires. You literally just tug them off of the old part (this is required before you can pull the old part out btw) & push them on to the new one when you install it. No splicing or special tools required. So, dont be intimidated by that step, you cant really mess it up! All in all, definitely worth the purchase and very glad to have my oven back!

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.

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.

great price/quick ship. just installed so cant rate longevity

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.

We were able to fix our oven ourselves with this piece. Remember to turn off electric. I wanted to just get it done but my tired mom brain wasnt thinking and I shocked myself pretty good.

I would lower my rating to 1 star except they sent a replacement quickly and honored their wannity. Range model number wfe710hoae0. My range would not get up to temperature. Pre heating very slow. Repair man here 20 minutes stated it needed a new heating element, that advice cost $106.00. Did not have the part had to order and was going to charge me for the part and the 2 day shipping and additional labor. Look on youtube repair seemed simple enough. Found the baking element part# and ordered it. I was not to easy to install because I am not nimble any more so reaching deep into the stove was a little problem. Also some of the cheap chinese sheet metal screws where stipping on the way out. Replaced with stainless steel. Far back screw holding element needed a magnetic screwdriver. If it happens again I would replace one of the heating elements or the temperature sensor. All are simple for a nimble person. I would give it 5 stars except but do not know how long it will keep working. Repair man stated many of the new stove fails before 5 years. Love things made over seas.

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.
