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!

Fit my stove and fixed the problem.

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.

very good...

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

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.

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.

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!
