KD835ADW2 Frigidaire Range - Instructions

Turned off power to oven at breaker box.
Removed one screw that holds the element in place. The other screw would not unscrew, I went to hardware store for drill bit and special hand tool (which cost less than $15) to remove stuck screw. I didn't have the right size screw, so I went back to hardware store for two new screws. Pulled the element out and disconnected the two wires(they are plug-in). Lost one wire into the back of oven because I did not hod it for the new element to plug onto. I removed the back of oven by unscrewing several screws and located the wayward wire. I threaded it back into the hole (easy) and someone grabbed it and held onto it while I screwed the back of the oven back on. Then I placed the wire connectors onto the new element being sure to squeeze hard with pliers so there would not be any slipping off of the wires. The power was restored and the element worked great. A less than 30 minute job took over 2 hours because of inot thaving he right tools.

Removed the baking element with a nutdriver. Slid it to the front of oven and removed the contacts on the back side. Installed the new element and installed the contacts at back of element. Slid it in the holes on back inside of oven and used a nutdriver to install the screws. It was very simple to do.

unplug old baking element using socket tool and put in new baking element - very simple and it works!

Removed the 2 element holding screws, disconnected the element leads & remover element. Replaced with new element.
All in all a real easy job (wish all repairs went this easy)
PartSelect had the element at the house within a couple days (Correct part I might add) which made the wife happy !!

Took the back panel off. Removed the 2 screws from the old element,removed it. Put the new one in and replaced the screws. Put the back panel on done. What took the longest was cleaning behind there !!

The meltdown was a spectacular event. After clearing the kitchen of smoke and allowing the oven to cool down. I easily removed the remnents of the old element by removing the screws holding each side in place and disconnected the two wires. I then insulated the hot side wire (red) to prevent the possibility of a short when resetting the breaker in order to use the stove top. The next day I found PartSelect.com and ordered the very reasonably priced new part with optional overnight shipping. it arrived at 1:00 pm the following day. Installation was a simple reverse of the removal. The oven works great and I now keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen.

First I removed the 2 screws on each side of the element and then pulled the element out, disconnected the 2 wires that were holding the element, got the new element and connected it to the wires, slid back into position, put the screws back in that hold the element and put the racks back in and turned on for test. It was so easy I had it done before my husband arrived home from work.

Unscrewed back of oven the plate that was holding on old element, removed it (plugged into small wire device)
Plugged in new one and replaced screws to hold in place.

Took the back off, and took the terminals off. Took out the old element and put the new one in and put the terminals on and screwed it back in and put the back on. And all done.

Working on 33 year old Kenmore stove (Harvest Gold color bought in 1977). Have replaced the element every 12 to 14 years, last in 1997. 3-5 FedEx delivery took only 1 day. I verified Selector dial and Temperature dial both set to off. I took out the 2 oven shelves and took off the oven door for easier access to back of oven. Open oven door slightly to 1st catch, slightly lift and pull door away from the oven to clear the 2 side hinges from the openings. I used 1/4 inch socket with ratchet to remove 1 screw on each side holding element to back wall of oven. Gently pulled element out and up slightly so connectors come through openings in back wall. 1 connector came out from wall 4 inches, the other just barely. I used needle nose pliers to pull connector off element with 4 inches of wire. The connector did not come off easily, it took some wiggling of the connector (not too hard because it is brittle). I pulled connector off element barely out from the wall and held the connector in the pliers (did not let go). Put old element on kitchen floor and put new element on oven floor. Attached connector wire to end of element so it didn't slip through back wall. Attached connector wire to other end of element. Lifted element slightly to push through back wall openings. Used 1/4 inch socket to re-attached both screws. I put oven door back on (reverse of taking off). I set Selector to Bake and Temperature to 300. I watched element heat up (nice solid color along entire length) and reach 300 temperature and cycle off. I opened oven door to force the thermostat to kick in the cycle again. I closed oven door to watch the element again. When the heating cycle finished, I turned the Selector & Temperature to off. When oven cooled off, I put the shelves in again.

I removed the 2 screws. Pulled the heat elemnet out. Disconnected the 2 wires. Then I connected the 2 wires to the new element. Pushed it back in. Tightened the screws and was sone.

The only difficultly I had was to bend down the ends of the new element so they were straight. Easily done with a pair of pliers. Slide the connectors from the oven over the ends, and put them back into the holes for them in the oven.Correct size socket and it was installed in minutes. I turned the oven on, and there was my heat. I used an oven thermometer to check the heat, and it was perfect. Quick service and the element was exactly the correct size.

First 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. I cleaned up the bottom of the oven since it is so much easier to clean while empty. Plugged the two wires onto the new burner, slid it back into position and refastened the screws.
The hardest part was getting one of the screws out since it had been rounded over and the phillips slots were worn too, like somebody had failed to remove it earlier. All I needed was a pliers to grip it.

Loosened two nuts , removed old element. New element snapped into terminal tightned nuts . 0 minutes tops.
