    The part had above average construction . Materials , ie nichrom wire
    assembly and porcelain connectors very similar to o.e.m.
    Sheet metal fit as o.e.m part should.
    Would not use for warranty work, due lack of supporting documentation.
    Can not beat the quality for that price.
    Decent product , good value. Price point could increase bottom on marginal service calls.
