J301V3 General Electric Range - Instructions

very easy--cut power supply 2 screws then 2 more on element quick and easy

It was quite simple after the part arrived. I actually had forgotten what the connection was because one wire was yellow and one was red. After calling the number that I had to no avail. I went to the computer to ask how to install the part. Installed in little to no time. Feel like a Jill of all trades. Bring on the next problem.

First -- and thank goodness I read some of these stories first or I would have forgotten -- I turned off the circuit breaker to the stove.

I removed the two nut screws holding the element itself to the back of the over. Then I removed two more nut screws holding the element to the electrical wires. (This took some WD-40. The stove is about 25 years old.)

That was about it. Everything lined up perfectly, and there was nothing more to do except reconnect the new element and throw the breaker back on. It works!

I was a little leary of using a website to order a part to fix my oven, but we got the part within a week. It was very easy to install and it works like a charm!

(e.g. 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...)

First I turned off the breaker to the stove in the breaker box and then removed the two small screws that hold the element in place. I then carefully pulled the element out about 3 inches and using a 1/4 inch socket, I unscrewed the screws that held the wire on the bake element. There were two wires held in place with 2 small screws. I made sure that when I unhooked the wires they did not pull back into the back wall of the stove. I then removed the old element and put the new one in its place, hooked the two wires back up, pushed it back in place and secured it to the back of the wall of the stove with the other two screws. I then turned the power back on and presto, it worked perfectly. Like new again.
Thanks for everything.

Following common sense, I removed the broken bake element by first removing two retaining screws and then disconnecting the element from the internal wires using a nut driver for both operations. The new element was installed in reverse order first using a screwdriver to attach the element to the internal wires (the new element had embedded threaded openings and came with two new machine screws) and then using the nut driver to secure the element to the oven wall.

Remove the old element by removing one screw and inserted new element and replaced the screw.

Same as you described

The repair seemed very easy, even before I attempted it. When I recieved my part it was very obvoius that this was my problem part. The old element was worn out(21 yrs old). Having Thanksgiving around the corner, my wife was happy we had a fix to our not ready to replace oven. I was very pleased with your website picture matching choices and the very fast shipping you offered.
Thank You RR from Massachusetts

Removed the panel screws that hold the bake element to the back of the stove. Then I disconnected the old element from the wires. Attached the new element using the provided screws. Reattached the old panel screws to hold the new bake element in place. Works great.

The new bake element doesn't have an item number on it, so I kept the old element in a cabinet someplace in case I have to replace this one again some day. I've lost the model number for my very old GE wall oven, so without that item number I'll be in trouble.

Use nut driver to take off shield. Pull out element to expose element and wire connections. Use nut driver to take off the 2 little screws. Remember what side is positive(red wire) and what side is negative(black wire). Put shield over the 2 wire and reconnect to element. Will need a standard screwdriver for the new screws. Slide wires into insulation and put back on shield.

Replaced lower element

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. Attached the wires to the new heating element, screwed it back in. That's it.
I was glad they had the part for such an old oven.
