With heating elements - especially hidden ones - I don'g think there would be much of a difference quality wise. Just nichrome wire, not much to go wrong there right? |

Hi Matt, I would probably get the used one after that one of the aftermarket heaters is probably ok, but we see a lot of Chinese dryer elements that are trash, an element is actually a difficult thing to build and have it last.
We saw a lot of these FD WOs where the floor warped and shorted out these elements and the whole oven had to be replaced, be sure that is not happening.
Wolf also had a lot of problems with the oven floors warping and had to replace the entire oven assemblies, I guess for these reasons few electric oven makers use this type of element any longer under a steel oven, some ovens that use a glass floor may still use these elements.
