Stanbroil BBQ Grill Heating Element Replacement for Weber Q140, Q1400 Grills, Electric Heating Element Part for Weber 80342, 80343, 65620

I have used it for several months and it is still working great. Great price too.

It seems these heating units seem to last about 15 months! But then we use our electric grill almost daily! Each of the replacement heating units haven't seemed to heat up as hot as the original? We adjust our grilling accordingly.

This product worked great the first four times we used it. We were denied a return or refund because it was passed the 30 day window. Thanks Amazon and Stanbroil. Don't waste your money.

Fit perfectly and worked well. The old element had burnt out.

I give it 4 stars. It works fine but it's not a perfect fit in my Q2400. I had replaced the original heating element with an element from Weber and it fit perfectly. The Stanbroil required me to bend the bottom heat shield out of the way because I could not install it otherwise. But after 1/2 hour or so I got it installed. It cooks normally although I'm not certain that it gets as red hot as the Weber heating element. Overall, good but not perfect.

I had a Q 240 that started tripping the GFCI outlet. I've had this grill since 2013 and, judging by others comments as I looked into it, I'm fortunate to have had the heating element last this long. Anyway, either due to an extended fat flareup I had or perhaps due merely to age, the old original one gave out.I've just installed this and it seems to heat up without tripping the breaker. I'll update the review once I've cooked on it a few times if there's more to say.BTW, I think the guy who said this is wrong: "This causes the controller to not fully seat as normal — it sticks out about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I don’t see any impact on the unit, but they just didn’t take enough care to mount the bracket in exactly the right place." He's correct in that the manufacturing of the unit wasn't as precise as the original and so there are some issues getting it seated. But you can seat it as normal. I bolted it on, and then when I went to push the controller back on I had to work very hard to get it to seat all the way, but eventually it did go all the way. In fact it was so difficult that I stopped and checked myself against the original I had just removed, and when I found that also required some additional force, I then just went for it with and was able to get it seated all the way. So, you can seat it all the way. (Also: I wouldn't want to run it with it not seated all the way; that seems like a hazard to me.)

My Weber grill crapped out. My temperature controller kept tripping off the line. I ordered a new one from Weber. $150. It arrived. I attached it. The new temperature controller kept tripping off the line. I cleaned the grill so that it sparkled. The new temperature controller kept tripping off the line. Guess it had to be the heat element. I went on Weber's website for a new one. $67. But out of stock; they'll email me when it becomes available. I tried Amazon. Stanbroil's rated at 4½ stars and half the price of Weber's. Next-day delivery. It arrived. Slapped it in. Works like a champ. BBQ steak for dinner that very night. New temperature controller sent back for a refund... Two weeks later, Weber emailed me that their heat element is back in stock. I deleted that email.....Moral of the story: If your Weber grill craps out, buy this heat element before you fork over $150 for a new Weber temperature controller. Bon appetite!

It gets ruined very quickly, it changes very often, I don't know if it's the quality of the product or what's going on.
