Not heating quite to temperature oven is set at.

Ordered this product because our oven heating element went out. Rather than purchase a new stove we thought we would try to fix the problem ourselves. Went with this product because it seemed the same as other heating elements that matched our part number and it would get to us the quickest/most economical. Delivery didn't happen on date promised - ended up being delayed for a day, which wasn't a huge deal other than we could've purchased from a different (cheaper) seller and that delivery would've been a day later (the day we eventually gots ours) but we wanted the faster delivery. Easy to install. Have used several times now and still are getting a slight smell when the heating element warms up. We've had 2 different oven thermometers in the oven each time we've used and have discovered that this heating element heats up 25 degrees less that what we set the oven for. Again, not a huge deal since we just set the oven 25 degrees higher than what we want it. I guess it could be an issue if you didn't have an oven thermometer to double check on your temp. The slight delay in delivery and the difference in oven temp are the reasons for a 4 star rather than 5 star rating. All in all, it beats purchasing a new oven! Hopefully the smell will go away with more use and that the oven keeps working.
