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.

Oven not heating up
I removed the two screws for the bake element, diconnected the two wires attached to the bake element. I then reattached the wires to the new bake element, secured it with the two screws and I was done. It took five minutes and the oven works like new.

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!

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.

Baking element burned out
I removed the screws that hold the element in place .
Pulled the element out enough to disconnect the two wires . I then connected the new wires and pushed in the element . I finished off by screwing the bolts back in place.. Voila!!!!!!! I was in business once more!
The part arrived within 48 hours and was very reasonably priced
