Product review (3 stars): Right burner element size but the drip pans won't work on this one
I have a 1991 Whirlpool stove/oven in the apartment I rent and it was just faster to buy the burner element I needed replaced [the big 8 inch one] and put it in myself. I got the item fast and it's the right size, but the metal supports under the actual burner elements are a bit too big for the Whirlpool drip pans and I had to bend 2 of the 3 metal supports to accept the new Whirlpool stove burner drip pans. It is now flat on the stove and first tuned it on to see if it works. It works, but smoked quite a bit at first but works. I am a bit concerned about other reviewers saying these burner elements explodes after a few months.......hope that does not happen. If it does explode, I will most certainly downgrade this item from the current 3 stars to 1 star and contact the seller. But it works fine, so far.
