MEF305PBDE Frigidaire Range - Instructions

All I had to do was loosen the screws, pull out electrical hookup on both ends, hookup new heating element to elecric and screw em into place. That's it, super easy and I got the part in 2 day : )

Take the screws out of the inside of oven for the element and slide the oven away from way and remove the back and insert the element to the clips and screw the back of the oven back together and plug in again and push back in place. Very easy for my husband to repair.

After doing without the oven for a week or so we decided to turn to the internet and try doing the repair ourselves. We are not mechanically inclined/fix it yourself kind of people. This really was easy. Just detach the old element and attached the new one. A couple of bolts and snapping one out and then the new one in. Very simple

Remove the 2 nuts holding the element in place. Pull the element out slightly to expose the wires. each side of the element has a wire. Slide the wires off. Replace new element. attach wires and pu the 2 screws back in the element holders.

Turned off range/oven breaker. Opened the oven door. Removed two 5/16 hex head screws. Pulled bake element forward and removed the two slip on electrical connections from old bake element and put them on the new one. Replaced the two screws, closed the oven door, and proceeded to overhaul the kitchen faucet.

I flipped the 220 circuit breaker to shut off the electricity. I unscrewed the old element (2 screws). One problem I ran into was that there was insulation packed tight around the old wire, so when I went to pull it out one of the connectors came undone. So I had to take the small plate off the back of the stove and fish the wire back through. I connected the new wires and screwed the element to the back. I only needed a square head screw-driver for the whole job. It would've taken me 5 minutes if I wouldn't have had to fish the wire back through. Still, it only took around 20 minutes and was really easy. The element cost me less than half of what an appliance repair shop charged. I'm a woman, and I've never attempted anything like this before but the video made it so easy to do! Thanks for saving me a bundle of money!

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.

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..

Using small square tip screwdriver (#1 if my memory is correct), removed two screws at rear of oven pulled old element carefully by pulling, removed wire from each side, attached wires to new element, slid to back feeding wire back where they had been, put screws back in, tightened and viola, stove working great. Approximate time to do job, less than ten minutes!

Repair failed because part did not fit. Offset between top of element and contact prongs was too small, so element could not sit flat.

Didn't get repaired because I could not get the right parts to fix it. You would send me a part for the oven. The oven and burner parts are not the same

We called a local repair shop and they told us that it would take a month to get our part and it would cost over $50 for it. We went online and found PartSelect.com. The part was here in less than one week and it cost less than $40. My husband pulled the stove out from the wall took a screwdriver and unscrewed the screws, slipped in the new part and screwed the new screws in. It took him 15 minutes to fix it and now my stove works better than it has in many years!

I UNPLUGGED the oven (very important), then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place, pulled the element out far enough to disconnect the two wires, plugged the wires on to the new element, pushed the new element back into place, and replaced and tightend the two screws. Finally, I plugged the oven back in.
