The original heating element was broken.
The new element arrived in just 2 days with normal postage. I followed the simple instructions and was cooking 15 minutes later. It couldn't have been easier. Thanks.

Oven Element would not heat up
I first turn off the 220 power braker to the electric stove. Making sure the stove and element is very cool.
I then removed the two screws that hold the lower baking element in place. Pull gently on the element not to break the wires from the wall of the stove (about 3 to 4 inches).
I than unscrewed the right and left wire attached to the element with the nut driver. (This old element was attached with small nut screws. The new one has screws that use a screw driver). Keeping the wires apart, I removed the old element and replace it with the new element part.
In replacing the new element, facing the stove I connected the black wires to the left side (my left hand) and the white wire to the right side (my right hand) with the new screws using a screw driver. REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE WIRES BACK THE WAY THEY CAME OFF WHEN THE STOVE WAS WORKING PROPERTLY. Attach the element back to the stove and turn the breaker on. Easy to do job.

The baking element burned out.
I had a friend of mine who came to my home equipped with screwdrivers and flashlight. After turning off the electricity at the fuse box he removed the oven door (for easier access),removed the screws,pulled out the existing element far enough to disconnect the wires, placed the new one into place, connected the wires, screwed the new one into place
turned the power back on, turned on the oven and after about 15 seconds, the element began to turn from a dark gray to a light color beginning to turn orange.
turned the power back on, turned on the oven and after about 15 seconds, the element began to turn from a dark gray to a light color beginning to turn orange.

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.

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.
