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.

Oven Bake Heating Element burned out.
First I removed the two screwes that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires from the old element, then I connected the two wires to the new oven heating element. Pushed the unit back in place and reinstalled the two screws that hold it in place.( ALL Done)

3 inch segment of element separated from the whole element
Shut off circuit breaker to stove. Removed oven racks from oven. Removed two phillips head screws located at the base of the bake element at the back of the oven. Gently pull the element toward the front of the oven until the wiring connected to the element by spade connections can be reached. I used a pair of pliers to help separate the element from the wiring. Removed disfunctional element from oven. Sweep out the bottom of the stove with a dustpan & brush. Lay the new replacement element on the bottom of the oven. Connect element to wiring via spade connectors. Gently feed the wires back thru the holes until the the tips of the element follow thru the wire holes until the base of the element is flat against the back of the oven. Screw in screws thru the base to the back of oven - tighten tight. Reset cir brkr. Test oven.

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.
