The bake element corroded and wasn't working.
The repair was pretty easy. I unplugged the stove and took the 2 screws out that secured the element into the back of the stove. I then used a pair of needle nosed pliers to pull the wires off the element that wasn't working and then attached the wires to the new element. I then put the screws back in place securing the element to the stove and it was done. It took me about 5 mintues and the element worked immediately.

Burned out element
First, turn off the power. Remove the two retaining screws, pull out the broken element far enough to unscrew the connectors, remove the element, reconnect the new element, screw it back in, turn the power back on. Yes, it is that easy! Took me all of five minutes. Took longer to find my tools!

Stove element went bad!
The complete repair was quick, easy, and painless. Not only did my item show up sooner than I thought the whole replacement took only 15 minutes, tops, to complete. I even had my 18 months old daughter helping too.
First and foremost I turned off the power to the oven by tripping the circuit breaker in the basement. Then verifying that the oven or stove top did not work to insure that the correct circuit breaker was tripped.
Then I removed the two mounting bolts on the support plate, that holds the element in place, from the rear wall of the oven. Then slide out the element just far enough to gain access to the wires that are attached to the element, about 3-6 inches. Carefully removed the two wires from the element with a screwdriver, noticing how flexible the ends of the element were. Removed the old element out of the oven. Placed the new element into the oven and then reattached the two wires to the new element terminals, being careful not to bend the ends of the element too much, very flexible!! Slide the element back into place and then reattached the mounting bolts. Turned all power back on to the stove and then turned the oven on and presto!, my oven is fully functional again.

Bake element had burnt out in the center
First I removed the 2 mounting screws that mount the element to the back wall in the oven, then pulled the element out about 4 to 5 inches, then removed the 2 screws attaching the wires to the element, then reversed the process to instal the new element. The only tool reguired was a 1/4 inch nut driver. Did the job in about 5 Minutes. The replacement fit and works perfectly.

The element fried and broke in half.
I was lucky to look at other repair stories because I forgot to turn off the power!!! Nothing happen to me, but it was as simple as everybody else said. Unscrew the two screws, pull out element, unscrew another two screws and put back together in reverse order. Viola, the oven was back in working order just in time for a major event the next day. Thanks everybody for their tips and partselect for fast shipping.

Baking element burned out.
I turned off the breaker, removed two screws that held the element in place, pulled it out about four inches, disconnected the screws securing the wires to the element. Removed the old element, placed the new one in the oven and reversed the procedure.

Bake element quit working.
I removed the screws holding the element in place. I pulled the element out from the back of the oven about 3" and then disconnected the two wires. I then reattached the two wires to the new element and pushed the element back flush with the rear of the oven. I then rescrewed the two screws that hold the element in place. That was all there was to it.. Very easy. I am 54 years old and have never done this before.. So if I can do it so can you....

The bake element had cracks in it and was almost burned through in a couple of spots.
I ordered the bake element on Monday and received it on Wednesday. Great delivery.
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 installed the new element using the steps above in reverse. Very clean and simple. One tip though...open your oven door slightly to the detent and pull straight up. The door slips off easily and allows easy access to the bake element screws.

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. I reattached them to the new element screwed it back in place and I was done. Could not have been easier! Getting the right replacement part the next day after placing the order was a pleasant surprise. This is the second time I used your company and I am very impressed with your service. I recommend you to everyone I can. Great Job!

Vintage Oven Element stp working
Tried contacting GE and no luck, they did not have vintage parts. After searching and locating Partselect, I was able to see a pic of the actual replacement part. I wasn't sure about purchasing online (1st timer) but decided to go for it!
I was able to track the package, although FedEX was setup to deliver to my resdient, I had the package addressed to my office but we worked that out also and walla.
I was very please and now I can bake my famous Pot Roast again. The oven was not working for 8 mos.
Good Eaten!

The bake element actually melted and broke into pieces
It was realatively simple, turned off the power to the oven, removed the bake element , by loosening the two metal screws in the back of the oven, with a nut driver and removing the screws, then pulling the element outward, to expose the two wires ,that were connected to the element, using a nut driver to remove the two screws and a pair of pliers to hold the wire connectors, then removed the old element. Installed the new bake element, by connecting the two wires to the element, with the two screws, then pushing the element back in place , attaching the element to the back of the oven, with the two metal screws, finished with the installation, turned power back to the oven , and tested to make sure the oven worked , all done.

Oven was taking extremely long time to heat and bake.
Turn off the breaker. Unscrew the element. Remove and replace with new element. Screw it back into place. Turn on the breaker.
That simple, that easy.

bottom heating element replaced
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 2 inches and disconnected the two wires.
I reconnected the two wires to the new element and screwed the new element to the wall of the oven where the element was held in place.
