Camco1500W 120V Water Heater Element | Screw-In Type | Low Watt Density (02463)

I used this to replace a failed heating element from an AO Smith 19 Gallon Electric Water heater. Follow the instructions in the manual for your water heater (and some of the tips in the reviews - using dish soap around the gasket for instance), and you'll be golden.Word to the wise - of your old heating element is visibly blown out or melted, go ahead and buy a thermostat and replace that too. Once I had this installed, I found that my thermostat had failed closed and had the water SCALDING hot despite being set to 120F. Once I replaced that as well, my water heater was back.My favorite thing about this was the price. My heater is still under warranty, but AO Smith customer service is borderline useless. This being as cheap as it is just let me bypass that whole experience altogether and get my water heater back up and running myself.

Work as it should have easy to install

Great Product

Good value. Easy to install. Way better than replacing the heater. Bought one about two years ago and it burned out. Hope this one lasts longer.

This is EXACTLY what my hot water tank needed! It was the correct size, was just like pictured, the info was spot on and it was installed a month ago and is doing GREAT!!! I am VERY well pleased with my purchase, thank you!

Likewise, this one was ordered a few times, but it was my fault because I ordered the wrong size. I couldn't send it back because it was used, but I ordered the correct size and it is running successfully. Make sure you check the small numbers on the front before ordering. Once you have the correct information, then order.

Easy to install as well.

Always good to have
