### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement part
*by H***T on 8 December 2023*

After some basic troubleshooting, we discovered the upper heating element needed to be replaced. This one did the trick and resolved the issue. It was amazing to see the state of the old one that was removed comparative to the new one. However, the installation was easy after getting the proper removal tool OR having a 1 inch deep well socket available.
