PB900SP3SS General Electric Range - Instructions

I unscrewed the 2 screws that held in the element, pulled it out a little, disconnected the 2 wires, got the new element out of the box, connected the two wires on the new element, put the screws back in and it was done! Very easy.

After reading about possible losses of the wire leads, I put together a simple solution. First, turned off the breaker, then pulled the grates out for full access.
Using a nutdriver on the hex-head screws holding the backing plate to the oven wall, I removed the screws, then gently lifted and pulled the element and it's attached wire leads out of the insulated rear of the oven.
Attach a plastic clothespin to each lead above the spring clip attaching the lead to the element so the springy wire would not tend to pull back into the difficult-to-access insulated area "behind the wall" because that would be a real pain to get at.
With nothing other than fingers, the spring clips can then be removed from the tabs on the element, the old piece removed, the new element set in place and quickly re-connected. No Problem!

Pulled stove out to access back panel. Unscrew broken switch/stem. Replaced each wire one at a time to make sure they went in right spot. Screw in new switch. Replaced back panel.

So easy. Took extra time so the wife would think it was harder. Just read the other reviews for instructions. Didn't have an issue with the wires pulling back into the oven though I did have my "clips" ready.

popped the new one on!

We decided to go "on line" to see if there was any way to fix the stove ourselves and found the Part Select website. After entering the model number for the stove, we were able to find the heating element. We ordered it and received it two days later! We saved money and time. Thank you!

Followed example on YouTube! Very easy.

First I pulled stove out away from wall and unplugged the power cord then I removed the oven door to make repair much easier. I removed the two screws holding the heating element in place. I then went behind stove and unscrewed four screws to remove panel covering the electrical connections. Disconnected wires to heating element. Removed old element and reversed each step to connect new element.

I googled and did the step by step removal and installation of the element from a web site.. EHow

Removed old baking element by removing two sheet metal screws inside the oven and pulling out the old element. When pulling out the old element, one of the wires was too short and popped back into the back of the oven. I then had to pull out the oven, take the shielding off the back of the appliance, gain some slack in the wire and push it back into the interior of the oven. I connected the new element and was finished with the repair.

Repair was fairly easy. Had the problem that I had read about with one of the connection wires falling behind oven. Time consuming to take of back of stove but otherwise all went very well.

When the new element arrived I turned off the power to the stove, opened the oven, removed the 2 racks inside and took the 2 screws out of the old element. I slowly pulled it toward the oven door to expose the wires attached to it and was able to slip one wire off the old element and hold it with vice grips so it wouldn't slip back into the stove. Unfortunately the other wire slipped off the element on it's own and immediately went back inside the stove. Our stove is a slide in so, after trying to fish out the wire for about 5 minutes with an ice pick, I gave up and slid the stove out, turned it sideways and removed the 7 screws holding the vertical center cover on the stove back. When I removed the cover the wiring was exposed so I re-routed the lost wire to give me some slack and then pushed it back through the hole into the oven. I then opened the oven door, slipped both wires onto the new element, reattached the element to the oven wall with the 2 screws and turned the power on and checked the new element. I then closed the oven, reattached the back plate and slid the stove back into place. Oh, and while it was out I took the opportunity to clean the area where it sits. All in all it was a simple job, just a little time consuming.

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 and held them out with two pair surgical scissors. Besure you hang onto wires because they are a bear to get back thru hole.

My 8 year old son did the repair while I explaned what to do,that was the best part of this stove problem. My burner caught fire when it broke and really scared my children. I looked up the part on Part-Select and ordered it. To my complete surprise it arrived the next day(I did not pay for overnight) My son wanted to learn how to take out the old one and put in the new one so I let him. Thanks for a GREAT learning time with my son and for your super service!! Ed

My husband did the repair, I held the light.
Pull out stove, unplug it, remove the screws with the nut driver, free old element from clips, put in new element and hook up clips, replace screws in the new plate.
