3523XRA Magic Chef Range - Instructions

Repair went fine as I read on how to do it and it worked fine. Hardest part was hitting the hole for the screws.

Turned off the breaker to the stove. Removed the screws holding the old parts in and unplugged the element. After reshaping the element because it got damaged in shipping I plugged the wires to the new element, replaced the screws and turned the breaker back on. Tried the stove and it has worked fine since.

replaced burner element

It would've been so much easier if replacement instructions were included. Replacement screws would've been nice also

Unscrewed 2 holding brackets. Removed old element. Unfortunately one clip broke off the wire and had to be replaced. Attached clips to element and replaced holding brackets.
Job is simple but working in the oven without damaging the oven door requires a younger back.
Without problems should take ten minutes.

Pretty simple, except the element melted very close to one end, so the screw holding the element to the rear of the stove was partly melted also. Had to drill it out & used a nut & bolt to secure the new element.
Apart from that, it was a breeze. As others have done, I re-tightened the lugs that the element plugged into.
Suggest a "test heating" before using stove: mine had a strong odor on first use, fine afterwards

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.

Removed old coil by unscrewing the element and unplugging it from the wires, adjusted the terminal slightly and plugged in the wire from the new element.

It was a very simple process and would have taken me less time if I wasn't so old and couldn't bend easily!

I watched the video intructing the installation of the bake element. The one thing I would suggest is to remove the oven door as this allows someone with a shorter reach to do the repair.

Shut off electricity to appliance then unpluged wiring from old element and pluged in new element.

After finding out my 2nd hand electric stove was not reaching the temperature I needed to bake my cookies I knew I had to either find out what was wrong & repair it or purhcase another stove. The baking element was the culprit and it was really easy to fix. I disconnected the power line to the stove, unscrewed the old element & pulled apart the contacts from the wires. I then reversed the process and was done in less than 30 minutes. I was extremely pleased with how fast my order was shipped - I ordered the part on Tuesday & the part was waiting for me on Thursday when I got off from work. Will definitely order from PartSelect again!

Unscrewed two screws holding element in place and pulled off the electrical wires to the element.( be sure to remove power to the stove)Put wires on new element and installed screws back in. Done

Removed two screws that attach bake element to rear of oven. Slid off blade type connectors at each end. Slid connectors onto new element. Pushed element into place and reinstalled two screws. Tested. Perfect. Took longer to do this survey than to do the repair! The one day shipping service was a big plus.

After noticing that our oven was not heating up, we talked to some other people and they said that we should try replacing the heating element. Replacing the heating element was as simple as removing two screws, pulling out the old element, reattaching the new element and putting back the two screws. One mistake I made was not unplugging the range before doing this repair and so I got a little electric shock before I was finished. After getting shocked I did unplug the range before continuing with the repair. The best part is that my oven now works again with no problem. This repair couldn't be any easier.
