Product review (2 stars): TOO HOT!!
I bought this for my Kenmore (made by Whirlpool) dishwasher based on it's 4+ star rating and generally positive reviews. But as others have experienced, it heats hotter than the original element. Even when installed correctly, it melted the bottom of the tub (nearest to the front) from the very first use.
In the few months since, the melted spot has grown deeper, as well as melting the bottom of the utensil basket. I now have a leaky dishwasher and a wet floor! I can only hope that a patch repair with some marine epoxy will hold. Otherwise, I will be shopping for a new dishwasher. :(  BE WARNED!
