burned out burner
First we removed two screws under the rim of the range top to open the lid. Lifted the lid and removed the screws from the bracket that holds the elements, Be careful with the clips that hold the element in, if you break them or bend them there aren't any more! Also note which holes they were in, they are marked according to the different sizes of elements. Disconnected the wires, needed needlenose pliers to grip them...connected new element, popped it back in place, replaced bracket, closed top ...Easy peasy!!!

The electric element stopped working on large burner under glass top.
1) First things first. Either turn off the Circuit breaker, or unplug oven.
2) Remove two screws under oven door that holds the glass top.
3) lift up the glass top, prop it with the 18” board, and place blanket between glass top and oven.
4) Remove two screws of the bracket that hold the two burners.
5) use tour phone camera to take pictures of where the colored wires go on the heating element.
6) use needle nose pliers to pinch, and push out the heating element from the bracket.
7) Remove the wires from the heating element, and the three brackets.
8) Place the three brackets onto the new heating element at the same hole location as the were on the old one.
9) Press the new heating element in the main holding bracket.
10) Place the wires on the correct terminals of the heating element. Note: the camera phone pictures work perfect for this.
11) Raise the two burners attached to the bracket up, and attach the two screws holding this bracket back up under the glass top.
12) Remove the blanket, board, and lower the glass top into place.
13) Open the oven door, and place the two screws back into place that is holding the glass top.

Element would not heat up
Removed 2 screws located underneath the front lip of the range top. Lifted range top and supported. Removed the 2 screws at either end of the support bracket. This bracket holds the elements in position. Be careful not to let the elements fall out when removing. The elements are now free to replace. Swap out the old with the new and be sure to reconnect the wires to the correct terminals on the new element. I did 1 wire at a time so as to not make a mistake at reconnecting the wires. Then replace the support bracket with the 2 screws and lower the range top in place and put back the 2 screws that hold the range top in position. VOILA!! Success. It works. The wife is now happy again:)
