Bake element not getting hot enough
Unplug oven unit from outlet or flip the breaker to disconnect the electricity. Used screwdriver to remove face cover, pulled wire connections from posts of old bake element. Attached wire connections to posts of the new bake element(they just slip on the posts). Aligned the face cover flush with the oven wall and replaced screws to hold cover on. Reconnect electricity and ready to bake. It is very simple.... We were very pleased with how quickly the element was delivered after ordering it.

Bake element would no longer heat up
This repair couldn't be easier. I turned off power to the range, removed the oven racks, unscrewed the two screws holding the element, carefully slid the connectors off of the terminals, reconnected them to the new baking element, put the screws back in. Entire repair took less than 10 min. Not much harder than changing a light bulb. Works like a brand new oven.

The bottom heating element burned out
The repair was easy. I turned off the power to the oven at he curcuit breaker. Using a phillips screwdriver, I removed the 2 screws that held on the old heating element. One screw came off easily. The other screw required a little WD-40 and alot of force, but I was able to get it off. I then removed the 2 wires from the terminals on the old element. Again, it required a little force and wiggling of the contact.
Reversing the process, I slid the contacts onto the terminals of the new heating element. Then, I screwed the backplate of the new heating element in place at the back of the oven with the 2 screws I had previously removed. I then restored power at the circuit breaker. The whole job took less then 10 minutes.

The bake element wore out
I order the part on 7/29 and much to my surprise, it arrived the very next day. It took less than 15 minutes to remove the old element and installed the new one. It was a little difficult to unplug the old one and took quite a bit of pulling but it came out okay. Plugging in the new one and screwing on the cover plate was easy.

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.

faulty heat element
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place with a 2' Phillips Head. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires, with nose pliers, since they were semi-hard to remove the male from the female terminals.
I placed the order over the computer and it arrived in 2 days.
I was very pleased with PART SELECT.
