CER1160AAT Magic Chef Range - Instructions

Took out two screws in the back of the oven that held in the bake element. Pulled the element out of the back of the oven to expose the wires. Pulled the wires off the broken element and then reattached the wires to the new element, put it back into place. Reattached the screws. Done in less than five minutes.

Just followed the installation instructions offered on this website. WAS REALLY EASY!

Repair? What repair? I just removed the old drip bowl and replaced it with the new one. Piece of cake.

The repair was just a matter of sliding the old one out and plugging the new one in. The ease of use of this website was wonderful. Super fast shipment. Im very pleased.

The process would have been easy except the wiring to the element had a problem. One wire was too short which meant pulling the entire stove assembly out to reroute the wire.The part worked fine; the problem was with initial wiring of stove.

I removed the burner elements for three burners by lifting the surface top and unplugging them. I snapped out the plug sockets that were burned out and cut the two wires, one element at a time. Using the included wire nuts I stripped the ends of the cut wire and connected each wire to one of the wires on the new socket. Once the wires were connected I snapped the sockets in place and reinstalled the elements, lowered the surface top and the range was ready to use.

After buying a 'universal' part at Lowe's and it not fitting correctly and shorting out the burner, I went online and found this source for an exact replacement part. Beside having to disassemble the drop in stove burner two or three times it went well when I had the correct part. I lost one screw somewhere and that delayed me a short time to find a replacement. Thus the 1 to 2 hours. It would have been about a 30 minute job if I had been smarter.

Cut broken wire and existed wire off and put splice on both new and old wires to connect them.
It's easy job.

I ordered and received the replacement element, then unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one.

Job done.

This is a no brainer. I am only doing this because you asked. Pull out the stove, tilt it back, remove broken leg, install new leg.

My used stove had been dropped by the previous owner. While I could live with the minor scratches on one side the wooden shims holding up one corner were annoying. A new leveling leg was less than $2. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to straighten the mounting hole and screwed the new leg in. This used stove was originally $2000 but I bought it for $999. the new leg plus shipping was about $10. What a deal.

I have worked in maintenance field most of my adult life and all aspects and to change the oven door gasket was no challenge what so ever. It took longer to find my needle nose pliers to remove the old gasket clips and then re-install the new gasket. Maybe 10 minutes total

Powered off circuit at breaker switch, removed oven door (slide-in), unscrewed two Phillips head screws holding old element, unplugged old element, plugged in new element, screwed in new element, replaced oven door and turned-on circuit. Total repair time: 8 minutes. Total time procrastinating repair: 1 week. Happy Wife: Priceless.

Well, I had to search a bit deeper in the internet to find out that the problem was not with the surface burner (which did look a bit burned out anyway) but rather with the surface burner switch (Part Number: PS336885) which must have ben damaged by the heat of the closest burner. If this problem would have been better documented (or if I would have searched more carefully) I would have saved over $40 with parts (Surface Burner Receptacle Kit) that I didn't quite need. Repairing the switch was very easy, thanks also to the available video , even though the stove used on this video (front panel) didn't quite match mine (top-back panel).
