CEC3M6WTAD Gibson Range - Instructions

I just followed the instructions that I found online.

I removed the 2 screws. Pulled the heat elemnet out. Disconnected the 2 wires. Then I connected the 2 wires to the new element. Pushed it back in. Tightened the screws and was sone.

Working on 33 year old Kenmore stove (Harvest Gold color bought in 1977). Have replaced the element every 12 to 14 years, last in 1997. 3-5 FedEx delivery took only 1 day. I verified Selector dial and Temperature dial both set to off. I took out the 2 oven shelves and took off the oven door for easier access to back of oven. Open oven door slightly to 1st catch, slightly lift and pull door away from the oven to clear the 2 side hinges from the openings. I used 1/4 inch socket with ratchet to remove 1 screw on each side holding element to back wall of oven. Gently pulled element out and up slightly so connectors come through openings in back wall. 1 connector came out from wall 4 inches, the other just barely. I used needle nose pliers to pull connector off element with 4 inches of wire. The connector did not come off easily, it took some wiggling of the connector (not too hard because it is brittle). I pulled connector off element barely out from the wall and held the connector in the pliers (did not let go). Put old element on kitchen floor and put new element on oven floor. Attached connector wire to end of element so it didn't slip through back wall. Attached connector wire to other end of element. Lifted element slightly to push through back wall openings. Used 1/4 inch socket to re-attached both screws. I put oven door back on (reverse of taking off). I set Selector to Bake and Temperature to 300. I watched element heat up (nice solid color along entire length) and reach 300 temperature and cycle off. I opened oven door to force the thermostat to kick in the cycle again. I closed oven door to watch the element again. When the heating cycle finished, I turned the Selector & Temperature to off. When oven cooled off, I put the shelves in again.

Took the back off, and took the terminals off. Took out the old element and put the new one in and put the terminals on and screwed it back in and put the back on. And all done.

Locating part on web site, ordering, receiving next day & installing was very very easy. Information provided on PART SELECT web site and that provided with part made this a very easy and cost effective repair. With service provided by PART SELECT there is no reason to pay for an expensive service call in addition to what a repair company would charge for the part.

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 cleaned up the bottom of the oven since it is so much easier to clean while empty. Plugged the two wires onto the new burner, slid it back into position and refastened the screws.
The hardest part was getting one of the screws out since it had been rounded over and the phillips slots were worn too, like somebody had failed to remove it earlier. All I needed was a pliers to grip it.

took two screws out disconnected wires and connected new element ,screw back togather in about ten mins and started cooking dinner

Loosened two nuts , removed old element. New element snapped into terminal tightned nuts . 0 minutes tops.

Really a no brainer, but I do have to say that PartSelect customer service is excellent. My part was located and on it's way within a day and arrived a couple of days later.

Read the reviews and followed the same procedure. Very east..took about 10-15 minutes.
Product shipped same day/next day it was delivered and it was installed less than 30 hours after it was ordered.
Exceptional service.

My husband completed this replacement in less then 5 minutes. He took out two nuts discounected the old element then replaced with the new element. Easy!

Removed two screws that hold the element in place. Pulled it out a few inches-removed the wires
& re-connected to the new unit. Screwed it back in place & i was done. It took about 10 minutes. The new unit works fine. Saved a bunch of money by not calling a repair man. Thank you very much.

First, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I pulled out the element about 2 inches, and then I wasn't sure what to do, so I called my son and he finished the project in about 5 minutes or less. He pulled off the wires and then put the new element in place, slipped the wires on the new element, then pushed it back into the holes and screwed the screws back in. Worked great.

unscrewed rear connections, removed broken element, installed new

Removed 2 rear screws. Pulled out element. Popped out 2 wire clips. Replaced old element with the new one and attached wire clips. A caveman could do it.
