Bake element was warped and looked like it could fail.
First, I turned off the circuit breaker. Then I removed the two screws on the hinged plate that attaches the element to the back wall of the oven. Then pulled out the two wires attached to the element by screws. I detached the old element and reversed the sequence to install the new element. Very simple operation for the average homeowner.

Bake element burned out
Actually you are right, I removed the two screw pulled the element out , disconnected the two wires holding the old element and put the new one on. I spent more time finding out whether or not it would be safe to work on it, being on my own for the first time and always had someone do it for me. I was told as long as the oven was not on it was safe and so I went to work. I was also very impressed at the short time it took to get the part. Three days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although the element looked like mine in the picture the hookup was different
Element was easy to remove two screws and unplug it. New element didn't have the same prongs and brace was different. Added ends to plug with screws supplied drilled new holes in oven back for brace. Works fine for a repair by a 65 year old woman.

Bale element in oven failed
Open oven door about 3 inches - then holding on the door on either side - pull up and door slides off - put it aside - this is to make it easy for you to work inside oven compartment - at rear of oven where the element goes into the back wall - there are two nuts to remove - I did not have a nut drive so used a pliers (GE could have put slots in the nuts so one would just need a screwdriver) - pull element forward - there are wires attached to the 2 ends of the element - remove with screw driver - element is off - get new part from PartSelect -(and must say pleased with their service) - and reverse above procedure.

Oven wouldn't heat
I had begged my husband for 1 1/2 years to fix the oven and he said it would be cheaper to buy a new one but he wouldn't go buy one. So I decided to fix it myself. I removed the screws that hold the element and then I pulled the element out and disconnected the wires. I then hooked the wires to the new element and pushed it back in place and attached the two screws. I made sure to put the insulation back in place and now I can cook cornbread again! Thank you so much for making this so easy for me to do by myself.

Burner not heating properly
1. The infinite switch had several knobs which would fit the switch shaft. Read the directions included with the switch in order to have the shaft fit the proper knob. You can break the shaft with two pairs of pliers. 2. Move the stove away from the wall and unplug it. 3. Remove the 1/4 screws from the back side of the stove and remove the back panel, exposing the switch. 4. Remove the wires one at a time and put them on the new switch. The terminals are L1, L2, P, H1 & H2. The Pilot (p) has a smaller terminal so you don't get it mixed up. Generally L1 is black, L1 is red, P is yellow, H1 and H2 can be blue, brown, yellow, orange or one of these colors striped on a white wire. 5. Remove the old switch from the stove and be sure to save the two mounting screws. 6. Position the new switch so that the side of the switch marked "top" is on top. 7. Install the screws on the new switch and put the knob on it. 8. Carefully test the burner. 9. Unplug the stove and put the back cover on.

bottom element of wall oven non-functioning
First I turned the power off to the oven at the breaker box. Then I removed the nuts holding the element to the rear wall of the oven and pulled it out a couple of inches. I saw that only 2 nuts held the element to the wires. I found the part on your site very easily and placed my order. The part was at my door 2 days later! I removed the old element, replaced the new element and turned the breakers back on. Repair complete!

The baking element wouldn't heat
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...removed the baking element and put the new element back in the same way I took the old one out. It was great directions that was posted and easy to do. Best of all I saved the price of a service call. Thank you

Bake element failed
I made sure the power was off. I removed two screws from the mounting plate, then I pulled the heating element forward two inches. Where the wires were attached by two screws, I removed those screws also; the heating element was freed up. I then removed it and replaced the 28 year old heating element with a brand new one.
