Part number for electric element in the Suburban water heater

[gshadel795]

We have a 2020 E21C and I need to replace the eletric heating element in the water heater.

Does anyone know the Suburban part number for that element? I purchased one with the part number 520900. the heating element is about 9 inches long.

Does that sound right?

Yes, 520900 is the correct part number for the Suburban SW6DE electric element.

Rubicon,

I watched a couple of you tube videos on replacing the heating element. The heating element in the videos looked to be shorter in length than the part I purchased. Are we good with the 9 inch element?

Yes. I replaced ours with part #520900 and it works perfectly. Maybe what they were replacing with in the videos wasn't a 1440W element.
