took out the screws at the back of the oven, removed the old element and put the new one in, replaced the screws. The new part was mostly the same size as the old one, some of the angles were different and the ends slightly different, but it fit and works great.

I'm a stay at home mom so when the oven didn't heat up I through oh no I have to get a new one. Well who can afford to get a new oven right after christmas. So I played with it to see if the other parts still worked, when I found that they did, I googled the the Appliance name, that is when PartSelect showed up and they had a video on how to replace the bake element. It looked doable so I ordered the part and it really was a easy fix. It took less than 10min all I had to do was pull out the old element and put in the new element. Only trouble I had was, I had to bend the prongs alittle but that was no problem. Thankyou PartSelect

Unplugged stove, use nutdriver, removed screws, pulled out old element, put in new one. Done. As prescribed. Excellent help as well as got part the next business day.

took me longer to find my 1/4 inch nut runner and drill than to change out the element.........simpliest replacement i've ever encountered and i'm 64 years old. less than 2 minutes......

Even though my exact model was not matched by Parts Select the bake element shown in a picture for a different model was correct. The length the bake element protruded through the wall of the oven was the same as the old one. The element arrived within two days, packaged so it would not be damaged en transit.

The problem was that there was heat in the oven but only a little. This threw me off at first but my wife tells me that the broiler element is used as the oven heats up. So bottom line is, the main element was burned out and once I replaced it, everything worked fine.

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.

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.

removed 2 screws removed clips on old heating element installed new element by placing clips on new part screwed element to back wall of oven total time about 5 min note this stove was 25 years old and part was still available sweet

i removed the 2 screws that held the elrment in place. then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires , reconenected the 2 wires to the new element and pushed it back in and replaced the 2 screws. the only part available locally was through a service man who would not sell it without installing it. at twice the price plus a service call.

removed 2 screws , pull element forward , disconnected connector . pushed connectors on
the new element, pushed the ends back in place
and 2 screws and done . like 3mins.

Please make sure the oven is off before working on oven.
Removed element by removing the 1/4 inch bolts. There were spade lugs attached to it end of element inside hole around insulation. Be careful as to not let spade lugs slip back into hole. I left it attached to broken elemnt piece until I was ready to install new one. That way it held it into place.
Cleaned out the oven of all the fragments with a rag and warm bucket of water... Installed new element. Turned on oven to about 200 degrees F. for about a half hour to dry out and bake out any impurities

Took 3 panels off to get to the electric block. Replaced electrical block and put it back together. Still no change.
