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.

Removed burn out element,very easy to installed, screwed them in, done that fast!

Ordered the part on a Friday afternoon and was shocked to receive the box on Saturday AM! Turned off the power to the unit, unscrewed the screws holding in the old element, and hooked up the new one. We didn't have a socket wrench so we subbed a pliers. So easy & cheap! Seems like everything's breaking around this house & this is the ONLY thing that was easy & cost less than $20! Happy with Parts Select!

It is simple.

Cut off the power. Remove racks. Remove burned out element and replace with new one.

Replace racks and turn on the power. Set the clock.

I've done this about 5 times and now keep a spare element.

The repair was a snap! Unscrew the two small bolts holding the back of the element in place. Pull out the element so that the connectors and wires are accessible. Unscrew the two wires from the element. Remove old element. Place new element in oven. Attach the two wires to the new element (two screws), place the new element in position and replace the two small bolts that were removed at the beginning. All done. Best thing? This is a 20 year old oven, GE didn't even have the part I needed. You did! Thanks.

IT was fast and easy! Thanks

Turned the main breaker off and locked it out. Removed the original element using a 1/4" nut driver. Installed the new element using a Philips screwdriver. Turned the power on. Tha'ts it. Easy!

I turned off the power at the breaker for the oven. I had to use a small wrench to get off the two screws keeping the bake element in the oven.

I pulled it out a bit and exposed where the element screws into the power.

To prevent the wires from receding back into the wall after I unscrewed them, I taped them to the inside of the oven.

After removing the old element, I just installed the new one the same way. Screwed it into the power, and tightened the panel to the back of the oven.

Reset the breaker, and you're good to go.

Took 10 mins tops. It is pretty cramped in there and you need a good flashlight to see what you're doing.

removed old element and installed new, and oven is up and working like new

I removed the plate held by 2 screws that holds the element, pulled the coil out and disconnected the yellow and red wires. Removed the broken one and connected the new one. Very simple. I also would like to add that you people are great to deal with and I will tell everyone to buy parts from PartSelect. Your service is outstanding and fast. Thank You.

Safety first! Flipped breaker for oven in main breaker box.
Removed two screws that hold element in place.
Pulled element out approximately three inches and disconnected the two wires from the element.
Be careful not to let wires slip back into opening.
Attach wires to new element and carefully put back in correct position. Install two screws to secure.
Flip breaker back on. Turn oven on and show the little woman what a handyman you are! She might be so impressed she'll bake a cake.
