Oven Element wouldn't heat
My 17 year old son and I (his mom) replaced the oven element in less than 15 minutes!!! It was so easy. We first unplugged the stove since I didn't want to go and shut off the circuit breaker in the dark!! We then removed the two screws that hold the element in place and started to pulled out the element. It was actually corroding in my hands as I pulled it out. We disconnected the wires and then put in the new element by reconnecting the wires, pushing the connections back in and replacing the two screws that hold the element in. The oven heated right up!!! What a savings to do it yourself and not have a repairman charge us extra to do a 10 minute job!! Thank you Part Select for your fast service. I will definitely look here before I shop anywhere else. Thanks,

Element died
The hardest part was working in the oven.
Turn off power
Open Oven Door, remove racks
Remove two mounting screws with nut driver.
Slide the element out to expose the wire connections.
Remove the screws and pull the element out.
Place the new element in oven.
Clamp on to each of the terminals with vice grips to keep from bending the element and install the screws.
Slide the element back into place and put the two mounting screws back in.
Put the racks back in and turn on the power and test. You may get a little smoke off the new coil.
Like I said the hardest part is leaning into the oven to attach the screws, do not sit on the oven door.

Bad Bake Element
The bake element in my 17 year old GE free standing electric range became defective. This element has 2 terminals -- black (240V) and white (neutral). While removing the element from the range, a 2nd black wire was pulled out of the back of the oven. This wire had a bare terminal connection and apparently had been loose behind the oven shell for all these 17 years. Inspection of this wire showed it carried 115V. I wrapped this wire with electrical tape and reinserted it into the insulation behind the oven shell.

bake element burned out
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. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

Oven Element would not heat up
I first turn off the 220 power braker to the electric stove. Making sure the stove and element is very cool.
I then removed the two screws that hold the lower baking element in place. Pull gently on the element not to break the wires from the wall of the stove (about 3 to 4 inches).
I than unscrewed the right and left wire attached to the element with the nut driver. (This old element was attached with small nut screws. The new one has screws that use a screw driver). Keeping the wires apart, I removed the old element and replace it with the new element part.
In replacing the new element, facing the stove I connected the black wires to the left side (my left hand) and the white wire to the right side (my right hand) with the new screws using a screw driver. REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE WIRES BACK THE WAY THEY CAME OFF WHEN THE STOVE WAS WORKING PROPERTLY. Attach the element back to the stove and turn the breaker on. Easy to do job.

The baking element burned out.
I had a friend of mine who came to my home equipped with screwdrivers and flashlight. After turning off the electricity at the fuse box he removed the oven door (for easier access),removed the screws,pulled out the existing element far enough to disconnect the wires, placed the new one into place, connected the wires, screwed the new one into place
turned the power back on, turned on the oven and after about 15 seconds, the element began to turn from a dark gray to a light color beginning to turn orange.
