Product review (3 stars): A temporary fix if you just can't spend any more
Like many other reviewers, I bought this element mainly because of the low price, and was likewise disappointed when after exactly 4 months it burned out.  This element is definitely not up to the Whirlpool standards, just a cheap imitation.  I just went to Sears' parts website and found the real part for $65.  I was going to bite the bullet and order from the website but something made me call the phone number for assistance.  I'm glad I did - the very helpful customer service rep found me a $30 discount!  Still more expensive than this part but I expect it will last far longer.
