Water Heater Heating Element, 3,800-watt 9000225015

Item arrived promptly and in great shape. Easy to install and working perfectly.

The toughest part of the job was waiting for the tank to drain

Parts exactly fit, install instructs in parts , shipping kinda sucked, but eventually made it. After one hour for install my water heater hot

I replaced the elements last fall, but had to settle for off the shelf from the plumbing supply place. Not even close, but they worked. I now feel much more confident with the proper elements in there. Don't waste your money on the cheap removal tool. 1 1/2" socket and breaker bar worked great after wasting time on the cheap tool. To remove the sediment from the bottom of the tank, I rigged a few feet of garden hose to my shop vac.(wet mode) and took out quite a bit of sediment. Cleaning the treads is important, but cleaning that flat surface on the outer edge is critical to prevent a leak. It's also very important to make sure the tank is filled all the way before turning the power back on. I expected my parts to be delivered on a thursday , so I requested a personal day off that next friday. Well, man makes plans, and God laughs. Parts didn't arrive until saturday, so I got er done on sunday.. Since my fingers making contact with live 220 volts might ruin my day, I made good use of one of those voltage proximity sensors. It looks kind of like a fat pen. You turn it on and wave the tip near a wire. If the wire is live, the green light turns red and it beeps. ....Just take your time so you only have to do it once, and that beer will taste real good, but only after the whole thing is done.

Ordered a part for water heater that was no longer made. I was able to easily find a replacement part by searching their catalog. Part came a few days later. Great service.

Part arrived sooner than promised. Hardest part was emptying the tank. Perfect fit and job completed in less than an hour.

Perfect part for Kenmore electrical water heater, the heating elements made the water heater work like new

element needs to be shorter hard to balance to get threads started straight also drain needs to be put in better location to hook up drain hose
