Element died
The hardest part was working in the oven.
Turn off power
Open Oven Door, remove racks
Remove two mounting screws with nut driver.
Slide the element out to expose the wire connections.
Remove the screws and pull the element out.
Place the new element in oven.
Clamp on to each of the terminals with vice grips to keep from bending the element and install the screws.
Slide the element back into place and put the two mounting screws back in.
Put the racks back in and turn on the power and test. You may get a little smoke off the new coil.
Like I said the hardest part is leaning into the oven to attach the screws, do not sit on the oven door.

element burned out
Could not believe how fast the part shipped. 2 days and it was here. All it took was using a nut driver to remove 4 screws and then put the new one in.

Oven took long time to reach desired temp. Element sparkled and burned up.
First I turned off the breaker to the oven,
then 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 placed the new element in the oven, reconnected the wiring and replaced the two screws in the mounting bracket. I reset the breaker and turned the oven on to about 450 degrees for 30 minutes to burn off the new smell of the element. This job was very easy and I saved about $100 from paying a service to do it.

Replace cracked broiler element
Unplugged Stove, pulled away from wall. With smaller wrenches, took the two screw-nuts off the inside back and above that hold the broiler element in place. Since it is an older stove...took the back panel off the stove with philips screw-driver which consisted of 10 screws. Once that was removed was able to unscrew the broiler element from the two wires that provide the electricity. Used the flash light when I had to unfasten the screw-nuts inside the stove because kitchen lighting wasn't strong enough.

Top element burned out of oven.
Turned power off to oven. Unscrewed back plate exposing wires connected to heating element. It was difficult to unscrew the connections between them as it was hard to reach in because the oven door was in the way, but i finally succeeded. Unscrewed the bracket holding the burned out element and then attached the wires to the new element. Attached the bracket and I turned on the power. I then tested the oven and it worked.

bake element burned out
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. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

My daughter and I turned off the breaker to the range and removed the old element and replaced it with the new one. My husband came home and took over after we had done almost everything ourselves!!

Element Had Broken
First we unplugged stove, if wired into circuit shut off in breaker box. Undo four screws on back cover and detach wires from element. Remove oven door by pulling open and sliding it up off hinges. Undo two screws holding element to back wall of oven. Slide in new element and replace screws in back wall. Replace door. Slide wire leads on new element in back, at this point we plugged range in and tested element to see if heating. It worked so we replaced cover, slide range in and leveled it with wedges. Time for pizza.

Oven Heating element burned out.
The repair is simple. Unplug or turn off power to stove. Remove the 2 visible screw where the element connects to the back of the oven. Pull the element with back plate out. The back plate is part of the element. Remove 2 screws that connect wire. Mark which color connects to which lead. Re-assemble in reverse order. Takes about 15 minutes,

Oven woudn't heat - lower element didn't heat
Took out the two screws that held the old element. Disconnected (unscrewed) the two power cords. Screwed in new power cords and put two screws in new element. Works like a charm. Took longer to get the new element out of the box than to replace it! Thank you!!!
