Product review (3 stars): Melted our dishwasher tub bottom.
We bought this to replace are old heating element in our Whirpool Quiet Partner II.  The dishwasher wouldn't complete it's washing cycle and my husband determined that the heating element was no longer working.  The new element installed okay and my husband clipped it into the mounting brackets, but it has still melted the bottom of our dishwasher, as others have stated.  It doesn't ruin the outside cosmetics of the machine, but it makes me worry that if its so hot it's melting the plastic, what if it melts a whole completely through?  Replacing the heating element was what is in our budget for now, but hopefully we don't have to replace the dishwasher any time soon!
