J403W1 General Electric Range - Instructions

Removed screws that hold element in place. Disconnected the two electrical leads. Put the new element in place, hooked up the two leads and installed the the screws that hold the element in place.

Before ordering the new part, made sure the problem was the burner and not the wiring in this very old stove by putting an ohmmeter on the terminals of the burner after removing it. Since it showed no conductivity, the burner was bad (could have put the voltmeter on the wires and turned on the power to ensure power was coming in......but did not want to mess with 240 volt/high amperage. With power off at the breaker, installed new burner. One caution... since the wire on the burner terminals is pretty soft, don't bend them by putting too much torque on the screws. This turned out to be my only problem.....I had to clean up the screws and work them through the copper terminals with the burner outside the oven before attempting to screw them on the wire connectors in the oven. Not a big problem, but if you bend the terminals too much when you install the burner in the oven, you run the risk of shorting them together, or breaking one. And that would be a big problem.

I first unplugged the stove as that was easier than going to turn off the breaker. I removed both oven racks for more room to work. There were two screws to removed inside the back of the oven. After pulling the element out a few inches I was able to unscrew the two screws that held the wires onto the element. I made sure to note which wire went on which side. Then did everything backwards with the replacement element.Plug the oven back in and make sure it works. This was the easiest repair I have ever had to make on any appliance! It's good to note the new element could heat much faster and hotter than the old one. I plan to check the temp when baking. The replacement one also hinged so cleaning in the future will be much easier as well.

Customer service is great. Fast shipping. Great communication. I have them bookmarked from a previous order. Same good service as the first time. Thank you.

Removed the screws. Pulled out the element and disconnected the wires. Attached the wires from the new heating element and screwed it in.

First, turn off the power. Remove the two retaining screws, pull out the broken element far enough to unscrew the connectors, remove the element, reconnect the new element, screw it back in, turn the power back on. Yes, it is that easy! Took me all of five minutes. Took longer to find my tools!

I was worried at being able to locate the part as the oven is over 35 years old. I put in the old part number on your site and it gave me the correct replacement. On my model you unscrew the two screws securing the element to the back of the oven. Then pull out the old element carefully because the wires are screwed onto the element. I pulled it out 4 or 5 inches and unscrewed the wires and connected the wires to the new element. I then threaded the wires back into the hole at the back of the oven and screwed the element back in place. Works perfect.

The hardest part of this entire repair was locating the right socket and explaining why/how I burned my fingers (yes I had to touch the element to prove to myself it was that easy to fix and worked). 4 screws, 1 replacement part 5 minutes no cussing. This was the easiest repair I have ever done.

unscrew two screws pull the old element out put in new one and screw back in . We had to wire it direct because our oven had quick connect connectors and this part did not. But it was no big deal and didn't take any time to fix.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place againts the oven wall. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. These wires were screwed into the element so it was important to order the correct screw-in type replacement element. I pushed the wires back into place and screwed in the plate that holds the element against the oven wall. It was very quick and easy.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I pulled the element out and disconnected the two wires that hold it in place. I reversed the process for the new element and viola! The oven works just great. The element actually arrived a day earlier than expected. Thanks Parts Select!

My husband helped me pull the range out from the wall to unplug it, I removed the screws on the hinged bracket, pulled the wiring out a couple of inches and removed the screws attaching the element to the wiring. Then I reversed the process. Easy as pie. The most time consuming part was unplugging the range, but as it is 220v (can kill you) I consider it a nesessary step. The best part was the price and availability. I ordered the part on Sunday p.m. and got it on Tuesday p.m. at half the price quoted by a national chain.

I used a philip screw driver to remove two screws which enable me to pull the wires out about three inches from the back of the oven and replaced it with the new one after disconnecting the wires from the grill. The hardest thing was the limited space.

Turned off breaker,first . Then removed 2 nutscrews and pulled unit out , 4 inches ,removed 2 nutscrews joining the 2 wires and the 2 terminals of the bottom element. Removed bottom unit and replaced with new unit . reversing the process. Turned breaker on and tested the oven. Works fine. Took less than 15 minutes.

turn power off at circuit breaker box, remove old coil from oven, attach the new coil and attach to wall of the oven. Very easy to repair.
