Product review (1 stars): Cheap knock-off flamed out
This was supposed to be an authentic Whirlpool burner replacement, but instead turned out to be a lousy knock off made in China.

On arrival, the packaging did not even make a pretense of authenticity. On installation, it would not fit because the flange was too long for the stovetop fitting and part of the end had to be filed off to make it fit. The tops of the coils were not flat like the original burners, but were slightly rounded. Soon after installation, the burner started leaving some ashy residue on the stove top after cooking on it, as if some of the coating was disintegrating. The original element it replaced had stopped working after more than 15 years. This cheap replacement did not last even one year before it popped, flamed and burned a hole through the coil. Taking it off to throw away I could see that the outer coil where it burned through is mounted on the flange too close to the one next to it.

Save your money by not ordering this dud. You won't even get something worth the few dollars it costs. I just went to the local hardware store and paid more for a made in America Lux replacement, which looks exactly like the original, fit perfectly and has not yet emitted any ash.
