Easy install. Plastic tighteners need to be very tight to eliminate drips - took a second attempt to make sure. Otherwise quick and easy.

Exact replacement - fit perfectly. Just remember to unplug the power before proceeding, and does require pulling out dishwasher to access the back, underside of unit.

Sears sent me a heating element that was clearly used. I installed the device into my dishwasher and my dishwasher still won't heat up.

The heater came is, somewhat bet out of original shape. We reshaped it again, no problem. Then we realized that the black nuts to fasten it were not in the box. Had to call and get the shipped in. The guy on the phone was nice and helpful. The nuts came in two days later. Part was easy to install, just had to slide dishwasher out and reach underneath, reset it and done!

Tried to order this part through local parts supplier, was told out of stock no estimated Availability date. Order through Sears partsdirect, received part within 2 weeks of order. Not bad, IMO. Retaining nuts easily accessed and backside of machine. Spent more time pulling the unit out of the cabinet and disconnecting the plumbing than it took to replace the heater. I wish all my appliance repairs went that well lol.
