Oven wouldn't heat. Bake element burned out.
I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. It was that easy. But the people at PartSelect.com were the ones that made it easy; easy ordering and prompt shipment. I got he part in approximately three days. Thanks PartSelect.com. You made me and my wife very happy. We didn't think we were going to have the use of an oven for Christmas. You came through for us.

Bake Element Burnt In Half
I removed the two screws that hold the element in place and then I pulled the element out and slid off the contacs and it was disconnected in less than two minutes. When it arrived I installed the new one the same way in less than 2 or 3 minutes and while I waited for thepart to arrive I got a chance to clean my oven and so all is well, I am very pleased with my purchase. It is just that easy and I am happily baking again. Thanks, j. Cale, morrow ga.

Lower element would not heat
Removed the retaining plate screws (Phillips), pulled out the element enough to disconnect the wires, disconnected the wires. Installation was the reverse.
btw, PartSelect shipping was phenomenally fast. I ordered this part on Saturday and it was at my door at noon on Tuesday!! Holy Moly...

bake element burned into
Used screwdriver to unfasten the old element from the oven frame. Then unplugged the two wire plugs from the back of the old element. Reversed the process to install the new. Couldn't have been any simpler.

The lower bake element did not heat up
First I made sure it was in fact the lower bake element that was broken. I turned the oven on & noted the element did not glow red. I also used a laser thermometer to verify the element was at "room temperature" for the room it was in (the oven - about 200 degrees, given what the upper bake element was contributing.)
And close visual inspection showed that a section of te bake element had melted thru where something had recently spilled onto it.
Swapping it out was easy - turn off the electrical breaker controlling the oven, unscrew the bake element, disconnect the electrical contacts to it (which required pliers, since they had been on a Looong time, and a little care to not use the pliers too hard & thus break the wires or contacts), then reverse the process to install the new element.
It works great now.

The element burned out
My husband undid the screws of the element. I went to Home Depot and they said I had to order in online. I could not find the part of the Home Depot website, so I googled the part and your business was easy to locate and order the part. It arrived in two days and I, the wife, was able to rescrew the element into place and, voila, the oven was functional again.

Oven would not heat
On Saturday night before Thanksgiving my Wife indicated the oven was not heating up. A quick continuity check of the element indicated the unit was burnt out. I got on line and found PartSelect, found the proper element and ordered it. On Wednesday the element arrived and I removed the oven racks, removed two screws and pulled out the element to access the terminals. disconnected the wires, reconnected the wires to the new element and reinstalled the screws. Entire time was less than 5 minutes.
Thanksgiving dinner was saved at a reasonable price.

Bottom baking element of electric oven burned through on Thanksgiving day. Fotunately the turkey was already baked. We ended up "baking" our stuffing on the outside grill!!
Unscrewed the two screws that held the old element to the back wall of the overn. Pulled out to reveal the two wires and connectors. Disconnected the two wires and removed old element being careful not to let the two wires recede back into the wall of the overn. Took the new element and connected the two wires. Then screwed the two screws through the holes in the element into the back wall. Easier than I thought it would be.
