About This Product

This is a straightforward replacement heating element from AO Smith – model number 100108283.

It's rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts, with an 11-inch copper immersion design that fits many standard water heaters.

The copper construction gives it good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, so it heats efficiently and lasts a reasonable time.

Swapping it out is a pretty standard DIY job if you're comfortable with basic plumbing and electrical safety – just make sure you kill the power and drain the tank first.

Always double-check your existing element's specs before ordering to make sure the wattage, voltage, and length match.
This one's a genuine AO Smith part, so it's a direct replacement for compatible units.

A solid, no-nonsense fix for getting your hot water back.
