element was not heating
I unscrewed the screw that held the element in place and then took the hex head nuts holding the 3 wires off the old element. When taking the wires off, I had the new element next the old and put each on the same connection one at a time to make sure I replaced the wires in the same location they were on the old element. After connecting the 3 wires, I reattached the element to the range.

Bake element burned out, oven would not get hot
Turned off breaker for oven, removed baking (lower) element, searched website to match up size, shape, and connector-type of replacement part. Placed order and received two days later. Mounted new part in 10 minutes, turned on breaker, and immediately baked fries for children. No problem. Much cheaper and easier than replacing entire built-in oven.

bad bake element
Turned the power off. Loosened two screws to take the element out. Loosened two more srews to disconnect the element itself from the power. This job was easy squeezy. Within 15 minutes flat I was back on the couch watching old Seinfeld reruns. Two thumbs up for the peeps at Part Select.

original bottom heating element melted down into wall
Removed the element and put in a new one. Screw mounted interface to 230 mains involved removing two screws in oven wall and two connecting the main wires. Screws were provided with element. Effortless replacement saved an expensive house call and/or oven replacement. Oven is 44 years old and Parts Select had an original replacement part here in 4 days at new years. Part was only $18.45. Parts Select rocks!

Very low oven heat
Ordered new element (super-easy to select the right one at this site!). Turned off stove breakers. Removed two screws holding mounting hinge plate with nutdriver. Detached wires with regular screwdriver. Attached wires to new element lugs with screwdriver, using furnished new screws. Reinstalled element hinged mounting plate with screws and nutdriver. Only difficulty is 1) working bent over inside the oven because the wires are short, and 2) wire screws are regular, not Philips, with shallow slots so screwdriver slips out frequently.

A plastic bowl was placed on the hot eye and melted.
The old eye was lifted up, hinge screw removed, and three screws removed from the eye that connected lines to it. Did just opposite for installation. Very easy. The hardest problem was finding an eye with three screw-type connections.

I needed new Drip Pans
I purchased a set of drip pans at the store only to find out that they were not for GE Ranges. I got on line and inquired and your representative was very helpful. The repair was easy. After cleaning the stove I removed the old drip pans and installed them one by one. No problem!

The burner only heated half of the coils
The repair went well and once again my stove that was installed back in 1968 is working perfectly. We will be buying another 6" burner and 2-8" so we have them when they begin to burn out. We looked everywhere for a replacement and was told they do not make them anymore, but we found it here. Thank you!

old stained drip bowls
I tried first to replace them, with a set I bought at a local hardware store. But they were too small. So I went on the internet, and found Part Select, and thanks to a very helpful guy, who made the extra effort to find the exact drip bowls, I now have a nice, shiny stove-top again. Installing them took two minutes... tilt the burners up, and slide them in. No problem.

Lower heating element burned out
I replaced the element. The new part arrived within 48 hours of being ordered. It worked. The part that sticks out the back of the oven with the connections was a little shorter on the new element which made it more difficult to put the wires on but it was not too difficult.
