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.

Bad Bake Element
The bake element in my 17 year old GE free standing electric range became defective. This element has 2 terminals -- black (240V) and white (neutral). While removing the element from the range, a 2nd black wire was pulled out of the back of the oven. This wire had a bare terminal connection and apparently had been loose behind the oven shell for all these 17 years. Inspection of this wire showed it carried 115V. I wrapped this wire with electrical tape and reinserted it into the insulation behind the oven shell.

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.

Cracked Heating Element (lower)
Unplugged oven. Removed the two screws from inside the oven that secured element to the back. I then removed the protective cover for the plug from behind the oven-three screws. Disconnected the element from the electrical wires, removed and replaced the element. And reassembled the cover and all the screws in reverse order. Plugged it in. Presto, 5 mins and works great.

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.

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,

Bake Element Not Working
Super simple installation. Once power was isolated from the oven, we removed the old bake element which had four nuts/screws. Then we installed the new element, turned the power back on and tested the oven. It worked perfectly! The whole process took maybe 5 minutes.

heating element split
I was able to slide the stove out from the wall, so it was easier to remove the back cover and disconnect the wiring in back rather than trying to reach into the oven. Then all I had to do was put in the new coil, reconnect the wires and slide the stove back into place.

Baking element burned out.
I am a CPA and not real handy at all. But I was able to remove the old element and install the new element in less then 15 minutes. It burned out on Saturday, I ordered new one FED-ex to speed up- received new one, on Tuesday. Very quick, and this was last week, the week prior to Thanksgiving- so my wife really needed our oven. Perfect fit. And I am not related to this company in any way, nor was I paid anything to say this, just happy this worked- or we'd be spending a lot more money.
