3523WRV Magic Chef Range - Instructions

Not really much of a repair story to tell. While using the oven one evening the baking element began sparking and appeared as someone was using an arc welder inside my oven. I went to the computer and did a search for Magic Chef parts and found the Part Select web site. There I entered the model number of my range which brought up the schematics allowing me to locate the part I needed, the baking element. On that parts page I also found a very short, concise video illustrating "how to" change out the element. I ordered the part and received it rather quickly (a matter of days.) Following the directions on the video I had the baking element swapped out in about the same amount of time as it took in the video. Could not have been any easier.

unscrewed the element and pulled it out, then put the new element in.

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

Removed 2 screws, should have tripped breaker first but learned the hard way, unplug wires, install new.

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.

Unplugged stove. Removed door. Unfastened 2 screws at rear of oven. Removed wires from bake element. Connected new bake element. Replaced screws and door. Plugged oven back in.

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!

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

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 attached to the element, reattached to new element and replaced screws. This was very easy, I was glad I did not call the repairman.

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

The previous repair stories were extremely helpful! The most difficult part was unhooking the old element and I assume some of that was contributed by it's age. Installing was a piece of cake!

Disconnected power plug,had to clean behind oven! , then...... removed 2 screws that held element in place, pulled element out about 3 inches disconnected 2 wires, removed old element, slide in new one, connected 2 wires, slide coil in carefully, and replaced 2 screws, replaced power plug checked operation, (worked fine) slide oven back into place....wife was happy.

1. Turned off electricity to oven.
2. Unscrewed old oven element. Found it had burned through
on the underside.
3. Inserted & screwed in new oven element.

35 year old oven good to go.

I removed the element from the back of the oven.Then i removed the wires from the bad element. I then attached the wires to the new element,and screwed it into place.

Watched the video provided and followed the instructions. I couldn't believe how simple it was to fix the problem! I ordered the part Sunday evening and it was sitting in front of my door Tuesday afternoon. Talk about service! I couldn't be more pleased with the convience of fixing my problem right from my own home. Thank You!
