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.

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.

Electric Oven burner element burned out.....
Made sure that "Breaker" for oven is in the off positon.
Opened oven door to the first "stay open" position...lifted door straight up...and off of the hinges....which removes the door....and allows easier access to oven.
Removed oven racks
Removed two philips head
Pulled burned out element toward the front of the oven.....exposing the two connector wires.
Used pliers to pull wire connectors from burner element connectors.
Reversed the order of this process....to install new element.

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.

Bottom heating element not heating
Grabbed my courage with both hands, then with my other hand I used a screwdriver. Delicately removed 2 screws holding the broken element. Once that delicate operation was done, I took out the old and place the new. Once again grabbed the screwdriver and with agility replaced 2 screws. Then, I turned on the oven and Voila, ready to bake some enchiladas.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Original Bake Element Failed
Turn off the oven's breaker. Remove oven grates. Unscrew two screws holding in the bake element. Slowly pull the bake element out a few inches. Using pliers, CAREFULLY unattach the connectors from the ends of the bake element. DO NOT FORCE OR CRUSH THE CONNECTORS. Using your hands only, attach the connectors to the ends of the new bake element. Re-insert the element into the back of the oven. Re-insert the screws to attach the new element to the back of the oven. Turn the breaker back on. Turn the oven on bake to test the element. Go have a beer to congratulate yourself on saving $75 or more. Should take about 10 minutes if you're proceeding slowly & carefully. It'll take 2 minutes if you're reckless and get lucky, but it'll take 2+ hours if you're reckless and all goes wrong, causing you screw up the connectors and need to go buy some plus crimpers, etc.

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.
