3527XPA Magic Chef Range - Instructions

My wife detected the problem Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. We've had the heating element break before, so we knew right away what the problem was. We ordered the part that night, and even though we weren't able to cook Tom for Thanksgiving, the part shipped on Friday and arrived the next Thursday.

First, I turned off the power to the stove at the circuit breaker.

Then, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. They are on the top of the flange and partially concealed by the convection element that juts out.

I pulled out the heating element, disconnected the electrical leads, and installed the new one.

I attempted to put the screws back in, but they were a little tough to line up. I decided to leave them out, knowing that I will probably be doing this repair again in a couple of years.

Hopefully, next time it won't be the day before Thanksgiving.

I Unscrewed the attachment plates located at the back of the over. Pulled the element out so that I could "unhook" the prongs. Replaced the new element by clipping on the prong attachement (you will see where the electrical wires are). Screwed the plates back on and Vola! I'm baking again.

Called repairman, he never called back for a week. Gave up and found your website, ordered the part. You said it would take 3-5 business days. You lied, it was there the next day. Taking old element out starts with shutting off the juice. Remove trays, pans, etc. Unscrew two screws, pull out elements ends, unclip from wires, reverse the process with new one. You need a light to do this.

the new elements were super easy to replace. the old ones just pulled out and the new ones easily pushed in. the top one was a little more difficult only because it had brackets that had to be slid of and then slid onto the new one.

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 reverse the order to install the socet was easy but after i was done discovered that the base of the old bulb was stuck in the socet keeped it for future use

Removed unit from counter, removed 14 screws holding glass top to frame, removed ceramic element, swapped over mounting brackets to new element, checked wireing as per instruction sheet (direct replacement) connected wires, re-installed glass top to frame and placed back into counter. ops check good.

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

replaced burner element

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.

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

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

First I turned OFF the elect power to the stove.
Then I got a flash light to see into the oven. removed the two screws, anf pulled the element out far enough to disconnect the two wires.
Put the connecters on the new element pushed it back put the two screws back.
Turned the power on works great, very easy.

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!
