GEF305PHWA Frigidaire Range - Instructions

Pulled out the old, and replaced. Very simple for a 62 year old woman! I cook a lot, being from the country, and Imwas so excited to get my burners fixed! Should have done it years ago! Thanks!

Turned off power to appliance removed the screws connecting the element. Disconnected the wires from the old element connected the new element replaced the screws and tightened turned power on turned power back on heated oven to be sure it worked. Very simple to do.

I looked for the proper part on this site. I was even able to find a video on how to install the part. It was great to see the step-by-step directions and tools needed. I ordered the part. It came quickly so that I was able to get my oven repaired before my kids came home for spring break. The only problem I had was the old screws were really stuck on. I used some WD-40 and they were still quite stuck. I learned that by gently going back and forth with the nut driver, rather than just trying to turn in the correct direction, that the screws came out quite easily. I felt so proud to be able to fix my own stove and save money in the process! Very satisfying for a single mom. Couldn't have done it without the video directions.

The new part was shipped and recieved very fast.
I removed the old one and installed the new one going by how I took the old one out. It was simple to do even for a 75 year old lady.. Thanks.

Had to remove the old element and had problems with the element shorted on the quick disconnect. After having my son unplug the appliance and cutting the quick connect off. My son then installed a new quick disconnect and the bake element.

First I gave my roommate (an engineer) a screwdriver to remove the two screws that held the element in place. Then before I could hit the switch for the circuit breaker, he nearly fried himself by trying to take out the element! He gave up helping me after that.

Then I turned off the circuit, pulled the oven out and unplugged it, removed the racks from the oven, removed the two screws that hold in the element, and lifted up each side of the element and pulled each piece out. Unfortunately, they were a little stuck in back.

So I pulled out the oven, unscrewed the 6 or 8 screws that held up the back panel, and pulled the back panel off. I disconnected the two wires clipped to the element and pulled the old element out by lifting up and pulling them out. I then put in the new bake element, clipped the wires back on, put the oven's back panel on and screwed it in place, and then screwed the bake element back in with those two screws. Easy - a

Turn off power to the stove. Unscrewed the nutholding it in place, pulled the terminals out, replaced the element by sliding the new terminals in place, replaced the nuts holding it in place and done! Turn the power back on and tested. It works again!

Removed the screws, replaced it with the new bake element, put the screws back in........and bam! I'm back in business. That's how easy this was to repair. Bake element cost me 40 bucks, appliance repair shop wanted about 200 bucks to repair.

I sat on a stool and knelt on a pillow (because of my knees) but I got it done and it works great!!

Repair is simple and straight forward. Simply open oven door and remove oven racks. A philips #2 screwdriver is needed to remove 2 screws, 1 on each side at lower portion back of of oven..Slowly pull heating element out towards front of oven, wires will pull out with it. Simply wiggle and unplug spade connectors on each side, plug new ends of heating element into wires. Slide heating element back in re-attach removed screws not over tightening just till snug.

Front drawer glides: Remove oven drawer and this is a good time to give it a good solid cleaning. Clorox wipes and elbow grease. The handle can be removed to clean under neath as well just a few screws to remove with the same philips screw driver.

The front drawer glides do not mount on the drawer, they mount on each lower side of drawer opening above lower glides. There is a squared off small opening on each side for the glides to pop into with small square notches at the bottom of each hole.

Take the curved part of the glide and angle the insertion going into the hole turning down and pushing in, the glide will "Pop" or "Click" when seated.

That's it. Save time and money and fix it your self. You don't need to buy a new range when parts and do it your self are less than $30.00.

followed the video provided on line which was very helpful..

The problem I ran into Was; Having the right socket size for doing the project. After taking care of that problem it was fairly easily to disconnect the element and reconnect the new one. It's pretty self explanitory.

Took it off, ordered a new part and put it back on.
Ordered on Monday and got the part on Tuesday.

For an electrical appliance, it doesn't get easier then this, this was real easy.

I removed both baking racks, unscrewed two screws holding the old element in place, pulled out element about 1 1/2 inches, removed the wires off of each end of the element, then replaced with new element in reverse order. That was it. Had time to play 18 holes of Golf!

I removed the four screws holding the element in place and pulled the element out and disconnected the two wire. Installation was pretty much the reverse of the removal except, when I went to put the two screws holding the element to the top of the oven I discovered the holes were rusted out. I looked for inserts to put in the holes but every time I tried different inserts the holes got bigger. I finally realized the oven is just sheet metal so I moved the bracket about an inch drilled new holes and used self-tapping screws.
