Product review (5 stars): worthy replacement baking element
The bottom baking element of my LG LRE30453ST quit working and turned out to be broken so I found this replacement on Amazon to be the best deal even compared with SearsPartsDirect, and from a reputable seller.  Anyways, this baking element is a newer design or substitution compared to the original from my range which was the MEE36593201 baking element, but it looks and feels like it still has the same areas susceptible to breaking.  The original bottom baking element lasted about 3 years, which is on the short side.  So I'll update this review in a few years to let you know if this MEE36593202 version of the baking element lasts longer, assuming I remember.  I mean, that is 3 years from now.
