Can you change out the heating element on this unit? And do you know how much money it is to buy?

Yes, All these new units sold are model 20070910. Its fairly easy to replace. Masterbuilt will replace it for you if it goes out, but if you have warranty issues, they are 48 bucks through appliance parts websites.

Yes, I had to replace my original one that burnt out...do to my stupidity...I had left the electric switch on the water heater tank to "on" after I had winterized the RV. So when I started to De-winterize I absent mindedly plugged in the RV without turning the water heater switch to "off". Although this element is shorter than the original it works the same. You will need to purchase a special sized tool to remove the element. I purchased a couple more elements, just in case my stupidity returns?!?

Though this could gave changed. I would contact the seller and be completely sure as the unit they are selling under this description may have changed

I would not purchase this heater. We had ours for just over month and quit. Would not let us return it

I would recommend checking the amp draw of the elements, when the thermostats or NOT CALLING (on). If there is any draw at this time, then the element needs to be replaced.

no,keep it simple buy what is designated for your heater read info. on this one,just in case here it is,Don't buy this one unless you buy a new water heater and have someone qualified to run a new line that is 240v(10,000 watts, 40 amps, 250 volts, 60Hz capacity)

The heating won't work for this, in my experience. You'll need to buy a more expensive one for that

Can't find any reference anywhere to a GELP0710Z02847 water heater. If you bought it, go back to dealer. If not, try contacting GE.

Never had the problem but 4 $14.95 you can just buy a whole new stove. Buying a new line would probably cost the same.

I do not know about replacing the old one but I love the way it works. It heats the whole room.

I absolutely love this little heater! My electric bill dropped from $150 to $50. Yes mine turns off and on sometimes quickly but it is producing heat. I changed the mode around and back. It got better. I would contact them and ask what can be done if it persists.

I still have it so can measure it, but the heating element already blew out less than two months after purchase so if I were you, I'd look at another model.

Probably, but I wouldn't buy it because the heating element cannot bereplaced, although it would be easy to plan it. That is planned obsolescence

It quotes both but I see nothing in my booklet that explains how to change it. I love mine so would suggest you call ThermoWorks customer service number 1-800-393-67434. There are several products and they will probably steer you in the right direction.

That sounds really high to me. The thing that cost me the most was the extra wiring - I had to put in 3 more 220 lines. But my son installed it for me, so I didn't have to pay labor. If I were you, I'd get another couple of quotes and if you need more wiring, make sure they include that too. My total cost was about $1,100, including the heater.

Honestly I regret the purchase and actually donated it to a local nonprofit auction. It didn't heat the area as well as I expected and couldn't return it. My electric bill went up substantially and the overall cost of operating. Wasn't feasible for me. If you purchase one have the ability to return it if it doesn't work out for you. Any other questions please feel free to contact me.

It requires soldering - it's not a simple remove and replace. There are some YouTube videos out there, but unless you're very comfortable with soldering, suggest you buy a new unit.
