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.

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.

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!

very good...

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

After waiting a month for a part from the local appliance repair service and being told they are still back-ordered with no ETA, I decided to see what I could find on Amazon. I was hesitant to put in a cheap, 3rd-party part that might fail early. But, the description of this part said its made in the USA. As another reviewer pointed out, this appears to be the exact original equipment part that Whirlpool uses. The stampings on the mounting plate are exactly the same and it was a perfect fit. The original part lasted 4 1/2 years, so hopefully I wont have to swap it out anytime soon. Now that Ive done it once, I could probably do one in 15 mins. Saved myself over $100 by doing it myself.

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.

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.

The part came super well packed. Installing it was easy, and worked like a charm. The only need to consider is that you need to do a low bake for 20 minutes to burn all the dirt and remaining particles on the part… it will smell the first time, but after that you are ready to go

I have a Whirlpool range and no appliance repair place in my city had a replacement heating coil so this was my last resort. I was super nervous about buying it, and it not fitting but it fit perfectly. It was an easy install after watching a youtube video. Weve been using our oven ever since I installed the new coil and we have not had a single issue.
