Bottom Element was defective
Unscrewed the two screws holding the element to the back oven wall, then I was able to pull the element out. I then unsrewed the two screws holding the two wires to the element. Installation was the reverse. Pretty simple job.

original heating element broke in 2
Unscrewed the broken element from the back of the inside of the oven, then unscrewed the connected wires from the element and did the reverse with the new element. Viola.
Before touching anything, however, I made sure the oven was in the off position and also went to the house circuit breaker box and flipped OFF the appropriate circuit breaker(s). There were two - one for the element and another for the rest of the controls.
When everything was in place, I turned the power back on and turned on the oven and was cooking again. We had Prime Rib for Easter.

The baking element was old & sparks were coming from it..
I (a woman) unplugged the stove, took out the screws, and unhooked the baking element. I then replaced the old screws with the newer ones, and made sure everything was nice and tight. I was a little nervous at first but everything turned out okay. I plugged the stove back up & the baking element was a bright orange and it works better than ever. The whole process took about 15-20 minutes.

Bottom element caught fire and burned out.
You website was quite easy to use and we found the part really quickly. After we ordered it, it was delivered within 5 days and was easy to install. I was a happy camper to have my oven back which I use a lot. Thanks for the quick delivery and information. Candi

Bake element failed
Removed the two screws that held the element in place. This required the use of a socket wrench. Removed the screws that were attached to the lead wires. The screws were of the sheet metal type.
Once the new element was in place I did have some difficulty attaching the screws to the lead wires. The reason for this was because the screws that came with the new element were threaded and I had a hard time getting the screws started because of the small size and the limited amount of slack from the lead wires. A magnetic screw driver would have made the job much easier.

Bake element cracked and started arcing. (Dramatic!)
First I shut off power to the oven. Then, using a nut driver, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and unscrewed the two screws that make the electrical connection. Removed the old element and put in the new one.
Turned on power and ran the oven for a while to verify that it worked and to burn off any oils on the element.

The bake element burned out and broke.
It was quite easy. We first turned the power off at the main power switch. Once the power was off, we removed the two screws that fastened the metal plate in the back. We pulled the old bake element out and removed the two screws that fastened the element to two wires. To fasten the new bake element we simply reversed the procedure.

Bake element melted! Lucky it didn't start a fire!
The longest step in the fix was the walk downstairs to turn off the breaker.
1 nut driver to remove the element from the oven. 1 screwdriver to disconnect. Just as simple to re-install.
If you have this oven I seriously recommend the $30 expense to replace the element before it fails. It honestly went out with a white hot welder's torch sort of short circuit that could have burned my house down.

Oven not heating after being on 45 minutes
A friend gave me your website. I looked up the model (is over 30 years old & obsolete!), but you listed a similar model. Part fit perfect, works great, heats to set temp quickly. Your do-it-yourself page was a big help...thanks! Replacement went quick and easy after I saw what needed to be done.
