CWEF320ES1 Westinghouse Range - Instructions

searched on the computer for the name and part number that was damaged, found that it was the bake element so i ordered it with part select.com. when it arriver three days later (as expected) i disconnected the gas and electric to the range and simply removed the old element with a phillips screw driver. installed the new element, hooked the gas and electric back up and began cooking again...

thanks partselect..

Generally straight forward repair with the most difficulty coming from the screws holding the element in place being rusted. Took some wd40 and some snub-nosed pliers to get them out. The wire connections on the back of the element are pretty self explanatory. Lightbulb was an easy change though the bulb connection had also rusted a bit and required some pliers to remove.

Took out the bad element and replaced it with the new element in less than 5 minutes, worked perfect, thanks

The bulb has a plastic clear cover. That cover can just be carefully removed using a screwdriver. It's held in by a metal bracket. After you remove the cover. You'll just need to replace the bulb and then re-install the cover and bracket.

2 screws disconnected old one and pulled out the new one in put in opposite way. The representative was so helpful, part came fast. thank you

Removed the wires that I could, then terminal block. Installing the new terminal block was very easy; however the wires that arced were fused to the terminal bock screws and needed to be cut and new connectors had to be put on the wires to allow them to be reattached to the block safely.
Once all was replaced and reinstalled the oven has worked great. The length of the repair was increased because of the melted parts and having to run to the store to get the new wire connectors big enough to fit on the wires. If we were simply replacing the block and had not encountered the melted ends, it would have been a very quick and easy repair.

Extremely easy. Two screws and electric connection that had easy pop on-off connection.

Unplug the oven (very important). Unscrew the bad element and screw in the new one. Plug oven back in.

I followed the instructions from the lady taking my order she talked me through the steps

Turn off circuit breaker
Open oven remove two oven racks
Position flash light
Remove two Phillips head screws that hold the element in place
Gently slide out element until you locate the two small wires
Gently Detach the two small wires from the back of the burned out element
Position the new element in the bottom of the oven and attach the two small wires to the back of the new element
Gently slide the element back in place and replace the two Phillips screws that hold the element in place
Make certain the new element is lying flat on the bottom of the oven
Replace the two oven racks
Turn on the circuit breakers and test the oven

Followed instructions on website. Went perfectly.

my original part arrived and it did not fit. When I called to explain the problem I was told it was the wrong part. The big problem is... Frigidaire calls the receptacle a terminal block kit as well as a terminal block kit which is a totally different part. I tried to explain that to several different folks I spoke to at your company as well as Frigidaire but I'm not sure if I got that point across. Take a look at part # 530 393 5058 and part # 530 440 9888 and you will see that they both mention terminal block kit. Hopefully the part I am getting from Frigidaire is an OEM part and will fit.

Remove the lower bake element by removing the 2 retaining screws that secure the element to the inside oven back. Carefully slide the element out. There are 2 wires attached to the terminals of the element. While removing be careful to not pull the insulation out with the wiring. Attach the wires to the terminals of the new element and reinstall in reverse order.

We turned off the power, took out the element, installed new element.
