Product review (1 stars): Was happy at first
Was happy at first.  The thermostat that comes with the heating element kit doesn't easily fit on the element itself.  The kit said it came with instructions, but there were no instructions.  So, I experimented a bit and used the old thermostat with the new element and again, it worked for about 3 weeks.  I just paid Sears $175.00 today to fix the same issue.  Either a better put together kit, actually putting instructions in the kit would have helped immensely.  Really, it's like some uninvolved warehouse person through the product at you and said, "Good luck!"  Waste of money.
