Oven heating element needed to be replaced after failure
I had previously removed the element so I began by installing the new element. The wire connectors, did not fit as tightly as they did on the old element due to a slightly different shape on the element. Therefore, I had to take some needle-nosed pliers in order to bend the oven's wire connectors and make them fit tighter. Once that was done I struggled a bit to slip the connectors onto the new element but finally got them on.
There is also a 208V element available for this oven but after calling the web site's phone number was advised that the 208v is for an apartment-type oven and that the 240V is appropriate.
Everything works well!

the bake element went out
First I removed the two screws, then I pulled old element out, placed the new element in. Returned the screws in place. Very easy, cheaper to get online than anywhere else and was faster to get the part than anywhere else.
