77JN-5EVWM Magic Chef Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

First, we cut the power to the oven and removed the oven racks. I removed the two screws holding the old heating element in (removed easily, I didn't need any WD-40) and pulled the element wiring out of the back of the oven. It took me a while to realize how the wiring was/is connected to the element, but once I did they came off fairly easily with a little coaxing from some pliers. On our model, the wiring thingums fit down onto the element prongs. So, you pull the straight up to remove them. Very technical terms here. After the wires and the new element were connected, I screwed the new element in, turned the power back on and the oven was is excellent working order again.

Turned breaker off. Took out two screws holding it in place. Disconnected two wires. Put new element in. Works fine

1. Turned off oven electric power at circuit breaker.. 2. Removed 2 screws at coil at back of oven. 3. Pulled coil away from back of oven. 4.Pulled power wire clip up vertically from coil.One clip was too tight to pull up by hand. Used a pair of pliers. 5 Removed coil and put new coil in place with wireclips. and screws provided.

Changed bake element in oven.

Loosened the two screws holding the element, pulled the element out of the back of the oven, loosed the two wire leads connected to the back of the element, removed the broken part, placed the new element into the oven, reconnected the wire leads, pushed them back into the insulation in the back of the oven, repositioned the element into its place and replaced the two screws holding it into place with the new screws that came with the new part. Oven element fired right up first try without any further complications. One of the easiest appliance fixes I have ever done!

Received the part the day after ordering. Appreciated the quick service and repair took less than a minute.

My son-in-law installed the new element. First turn off the electricity and remove oven door. Then unscrew all connections to the element.The back electrical wires come out from the top back oven. The bracket screw faces the oven and the electrical wires are so short there is very little room for a screw driver (get the shortest one you can find..abt as big as your thumb if possible).Once that was out the element came out with no problems.Then it's just reversing the step. Again, that back electical bracket is difficult to get to for install. Also, the new screws in our kit were Philips, but the old ones were flat so check those out before turning off the oven light.
