REGS37BNL5 Frigidaire Range - Instructions

After the oven cooled, removed the bake element withe a couple of screws, got on line and ordered the part. Two days later the new element arrived and we put the screws back in with the new element. Problem solved.

took out the screws at the back of the oven, removed the old element and put the new one in, replaced the screws. The new part was mostly the same size as the old one, some of the angles were different and the ends slightly different, but it fit and works great.

Just took the back of the stove off and removed old one and put new one in. Very simple.

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.

Removed 2 rear screws. Pulled out element. Popped out 2 wire clips. Replaced old element with the new one and attached wire clips. A caveman could do it.

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.

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.

Unplugged the appliance then removed the two screws holding the element in place. Pulled it out about 2-3 inches then pulled the wires off. The replacement element has 90 degree connectors as opposed to the original 180 degree connectors but that didn't affect installation and hasn't affected operation. Slide the wires on the new element, slide the element back in the oven, screw it back in and you're good to go. Trust me, easiest repair to do.

Very easy repair. First and very important step...shut off power to the oven! Then removed two small screws holding element to back of oven, gently pulled it and the wires connected to it toward me, disconnected the wires, connected the new element and reversed the process. However what I really appreciated about this was how easy it was to find the part on PartSelect.com. It was difficult to read the model number stamped on the plate at the front of the oven, and I got 1 letter and 1 digit wrong. But when I did the search, instead of just telling me "not found," it offered a list of model numbers that were close to what I'd entered, and the first one was correct. Very helpful! The online store is very well set up and easy to navigate.

Really a no brainer, but I do have to say that PartSelect customer service is excellent. My part was located and on it's way within a day and arrived a couple of days later.

removed 2 screws , pull element forward , disconnected connector . pushed connectors on
the new element, pushed the ends back in place
and 2 screws and done . like 3mins.

Please make sure the oven is off before working on oven.
Removed element by removing the 1/4 inch bolts. There were spade lugs attached to it end of element inside hole around insulation. Be careful as to not let spade lugs slip back into hole. I left it attached to broken elemnt piece until I was ready to install new one. That way it held it into place.
Cleaned out the oven of all the fragments with a rag and warm bucket of water... Installed new element. Turned on oven to about 200 degrees F. for about a half hour to dry out and bake out any impurities
