JBC26*55 General Electric Range - Instructions

First, I turned off the circuit breaker. Then I removed the two screws on the hinged plate that attaches the element to the back wall of the oven. Then pulled out the two wires attached to the element by screws. I detached the old element and reversed the sequence to install the new element. Very simple operation for the average homeowner.

1) turned off breaker to oven
2) removed oven racks
3) removed screws holding old element
4) pulled out element far enough to remove 2 wires attached to old element
5) noted colors, left white, right black
6) attached new element to wires
7) attached new element to oven
8) put back oven racks
9) turn breaker back on
10) test oven
done
EASY!!

order process went very well - easy to do

Remove the 2 screws, pull out the backing element. remove the 2 screws and replace the element....pay attention to what wire go where.

Actually you are right, I removed the two screw pulled the element out , disconnected the two wires holding the old element and put the new one on. I spent more time finding out whether or not it would be safe to work on it, being on my own for the first time and always had someone do it for me. I was told as long as the oven was not on it was safe and so I went to work. I was also very impressed at the short time it took to get the part. Three days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut off power, Removed and disconnected element, connected and mounted new element!

I made sure the power was off. I removed two screws from the mounting plate, then I pulled the heating element forward two inches. Where the wires were attached by two screws, I removed those screws also; the heating element was freed up. I then removed it and replaced the 28 year old heating element with a brand new one.

removed the old, replace the new. The delivery of my new part was exceptional, received the very next day after ordering.

Simple replacement. Price for replacement was excellent. Cheaper than any replacement I priced locally and arrived the day after I ordered.


Thanks!

I removed the old element after turning off the breaker to the oven. Remove the two screws that hold it to the back wall of the oven, slid it towards me exposing the wire connection. Removed the screws from the wires and removed the old element. Cleaned the oven and installed the new element by reversing the steps I just talked about. Quick and easy, oven has never worked better.

All other reviews decribed the repare process that I used with no problems. The only reason I took about twenty minutes instead of around 15 minutes was it took me a few minutes to get the correct socket to remove the two small lag screws of the old bake element to free it from the oven wall. I did not have to remove the oven door as it was not a problem in reaching the back of the oven. My range is 25 years old.

Unscrewed the two screws that held it in place; disconnected the old; connected the new; replaced the screws. DONE.

I first remove the oven door, which is very east on this model. You tilt it a quarter of the way when you open it to use and pull up. It comes off very easy. My second step was pulling on the bake element towards the front. It will expose the wiring connection to the bake element. You will see two wire that are attached by two one screw for each connection. You will need a nut driver to remove. The removal is very simple. Note: Please be sure to turn off your circuit breaker to the oven! ( this is a safety measure,plus it will make you more at ease with the installation. You then can remove the screw nuts & replace with you new bake element. A real piece of cake & very easy even for a average home-owner. Thanks to Part Select for ease of ordering this item. It is a very friendly website! Thanks! Orin

1)Unscrewed the mounting nuts, 2) pulled the heating element out a couple of inches, 3) unscrewed the screws holding the wires in place, 4) removed and tossed the old heating element, 5) placed the new heating element in place, 6) re-screwed the wires to to the element, 7) pushed the heating element back into the wall of the oven, 8) reset the mounting nuts, 9) cleaned up the work area, 10) cranked up the oven and made a pizza. I'm not particularly skilled when it comes to things of this nature, but it was ridiculously easy...

The only hard part of the job is removing the old, corroded terminal block. Be careful not to break the electrical wire. Other than that, just sand the contacts and reassemble. This is the second one I have replace on my 4 burner stove. 2 more to go.
