Product review (3 stars): Not Quite Right
This replacement plugged right in without a problem but didn't seat quite right; which is to say it didn't lie flat once plugged in. The (unplugged) side of the burner stays about 1/8" lifted off the drip pan slot. It's not drastically noticeable but still worth mentioning. It heats evenly and well at all settings, so no problem there. There is no color difference between this and the older burner elements. It is NOT Calrod (and therefor not an "exact" replacement as claimed).

I will agree, as stated by others, the packaging was virtually non-existent, consisting of a plastic envelope into which the burner was inserted. No damage was done but it could easily have been damaged due to inadequate protection.
