Works great

Good value for the set versus buying separately. I originally was gonna replace just the thermostats but I am glad I found this. Paid a little more and the old elements were in terrible shape when I pulled them out. Probably what caused the thermostats to keep tripping the reset switch. Make sure you get the special tool to remove them. Only ten bucks. Spray edges with WD40 an hour before removing. Apply steady pressure to unscrew, both towards the water heater and counter clockwise. Make sure old gaskets came out with the elements. A little effort but saved a good amount of money. very satisfied with seller and product. I am very self gratified to have completed this myself. Do not overtighten the elements.... check for leaks afterward in case you need to tighten a little more. Follow all instructions especially turning off the power.

First off, I am not an electrician, but being unable to have water usage was a great reason to try this install. I turned of the power switch and the breaker to the water heater, started the disassembly after a lot of unwrapping, I was to the inside, after a lot of pictures for reference, I pulled out the elements, which were broken into several chucks. Carefully replacing each thermostat controls with help from my pictures, they were replaced in 25 mins, then replacing the elements went fairly easy hooked up all wire, set thermostats,

The heating element works for top and bottom works perfectly. I only used the bottom thermostat, did not use the top because the wires won’t reach the terminals. All others parts works. Use on AO Smith promax water heater.

I used only the heating elements, not the thermostats. The thermostats looked different than the ones on my water heater, so I didn't bother and just hoped the elements would fix it. Sure enough, it did. I have a Rheem 4500 watt, dual-element water heater. I bet a plumber would have charged us a few grand to put in a new water heater, but all it was was the elements. The breaker would get hot and trip just about every day. I watched a YouTube video on how to drain it. I had a 38mm axle nut socket that worked in lieu of the 1 1/2 faucet socket that I didn't have. Don't undertighten or overtighten the heating elements. I'd rather undertighten and go back and snug it up than overtighten and destroy the female threads--ruining the water heater most likely. Make sure the bottom of your water heater---probably a pan---is completely dry once you are done. Mine wasn't at first and it wouldn't heat up. Once I dried it up, the water heater started heating up quickly and it's working exactly as it's supposed to. I'll let you know if anything changes.

They were the perfect replacement parts at a great price. I did the job myself (DIY). I know that if our second water heater stops providing us with hot water, I will order parts from Amazon.

Works great,i now have hot water!

After only 5 days and using these parts to replace all aspects of our water heater our heater is constantly tripping because the water is over 180° F. The bottom element doesn't shut off and it seems the switch that was working 5 days ago no longer works. The elements wished but the switches broke down in 5 days. We returned the switches and found better locally.
