I UNPLUGGED the oven (very important), then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place, pulled the element out far enough to disconnect the two wires, plugged the wires on to the new element, pushed the new element back into place, and replaced and tightend the two screws. Finally, I plugged the oven back in.

Too dark to see, so left the power on so I cold use the oven light. Big mistake, shorted the fuse at the main box. No power in part of the house until finally figured out how to trip the fuse back on. Lesson learned. Never work on anything electrical without first turning off the power.

We called a local repair shop and they told us that it would take a month to get our part and it would cost over $50 for it. We went online and found PartSelect.com. The part was here in less than one week and it cost less than $40. My husband pulled the stove out from the wall took a screwdriver and unscrewed the screws, slipped in the new part and screwed the new screws in. It took him 15 minutes to fix it and now my stove works better than it has in many years!

First I gave my roommate (an engineer) a screwdriver to remove the two screws that held the element in place. Then before I could hit the switch for the circuit breaker, he nearly fried himself by trying to take out the element! He gave up helping me after that.

Then I turned off the circuit, pulled the oven out and unplugged it, removed the racks from the oven, removed the two screws that hold in the element, and lifted up each side of the element and pulled each piece out. Unfortunately, they were a little stuck in back.

So I pulled out the oven, unscrewed the 6 or 8 screws that held up the back panel, and pulled the back panel off. I disconnected the two wires clipped to the element and pulled the old element out by lifting up and pulling them out. I then put in the new bake element, clipped the wires back on, put the oven's back panel on and screwed it in place, and then screwed the bake element back in with those two screws. Easy - a

Loosen 2 screw with a 1/4 nut driver. Pulled element out to expose connections. Carefully disconnected old element and replaced with new element. Pushed wires back into holes and replaced the screws. (Note: Be careful not to let the disconnected wires slip back through the holes. This almost happen to me)

Turn off power to the stove. Unscrewed the nutholding it in place, pulled the terminals out, replaced the element by sliding the new terminals in place, replaced the nuts holding it in place and done! Turn the power back on and tested. It works again!

My part was the oven burner for my Tappan stove. I followed a very helpful you tube video. All I had to do was use 1/4" screw-type screwdriver (not sure what you call it), remove screw, pull out each side, pull part away from wire; and then insert the new oven burner!! SIMPLE and I'm a 68-year old widow! I was proud.

Using small square tip screwdriver (#1 if my memory is correct), removed two screws at rear of oven pulled old element carefully by pulling, removed wire from each side, attached wires to new element, slid to back feeding wire back where they had been, put screws back in, tightened and viola, stove working great. Approximate time to do job, less than ten minutes!

The problem I ran into Was; Having the right socket size for doing the project. After taking care of that problem it was fairly easily to disconnect the element and reconnect the new one. It's pretty self explanitory.

Took it off, ordered a new part and put it back on.
Ordered on Monday and got the part on Tuesday.

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. connected the new element, reassembled and SHAZAM. It worked. I am not good with electrical circuit testing etc. even though I know it must be easy so after reading many stories here, I decided to start by replacing just the element and see if I got lucky. I did. No need to call expensive repairman.

Took out 2 screws unclipped the part put the new one on and i was done. Very easy fix .. Baked a cake right after to celebrate

There are two philips head screws in the back wall of the oven to pull. Gently slide the element forward with the attached wires. Pull the terminals off of each side of the element, slide on to new element, push into place, and replace screws. The whole job was done in under 3 minutes.

Unscrewed 2 screws, pulled the wires out and unplugged the old element, plugged the new one in, screwed 2 screws back in, so easy anyone can do this, it's nice to have a second person holding a flashlight but couldn't be any easier.

Pulled out stove and unplugged. Took off back of stove and unplugged two wires. Opened oven door and unscrewed two nut screws to remove element. Inserted new element and screwed two nut screws back. Went to back of stove and replugged.
