  • Good for Whirlpool 40 gallon tank too
Refreshed my Whirlpool 40 gallon; used solid copper wire on a drill to whip inside the tank with the water running and bottom spigot removed. Decalcified the tank, and threw in a new anode rod. A $700 tank will give me another ten+ years for under $100 and an hour of work. Tstats are slightly different than the Whirlpool's but it has a schematic for you to follow. Great value. Buy the water heater element removal socket at HD or Lowe's or order here so you don't struggle. Plan for water drainage too. 40+ gallons need somewhere/somehow to find a drain ... show more

  • Solid kit but not genuine Rheem parts
This is an acceptable repair kit with seemingly quality parts. The title is misleading however as the kit is not genuine Rheem parts. I used this kit on my 80 gallon Rheem electric hot water heater. I decided on this set based upon others' reviews and it appeared to be compatible with my unit. Replacing the thermostats are a breeze just be sure to take a picture before you take wires off so you know how to reconnect them. Replacing the elements were trickier. It look a 2' breaker bar, a special socket, and lots of force. After removing them I discovered the ones included in the kit were not exact matches. The elements in my water heater were 240v and 3000w. The elements in the kit are 240v but 4500w. Concerned with installing a higher wattage element I called a friend of the family electrician for some guidance. If your water heater is wired to a 30 amp breaker and has #10 wire running from the breaker to the water heater then using the higher wattage is acceptable. If not, then return the elements for an exact match as it's not worth the fire risk. Luckily I had the correct wiring for a safe upgrade. Installing went easily and it is helpful to add some teflon tape the threads of the elements. It should go without saying but make sure you turn off the breaker before working on your water hester. Overall a solid kit but dissapointed it was Rheem brand as advetised. ... show more

  • Rheem parts are fairly priced
The original water heater heating elements lasted 23 years. This water heater provided hot water to two young sons. They love hot showers. Rheem parts are competitively priced, and I anticipate another 20 years.
