Bake element not getting hot enough
Unplug oven unit from outlet or flip the breaker to disconnect the electricity. Used screwdriver to remove face cover, pulled wire connections from posts of old bake element. Attached wire connections to posts of the new bake element(they just slip on the posts). Aligned the face cover flush with the oven wall and replaced screws to hold cover on. Reconnect electricity and ready to bake. It is very simple.... We were very pleased with how quickly the element was delivered after ordering it.

Bake element would no longer heat up
This repair couldn't be easier. I turned off power to the range, removed the oven racks, unscrewed the two screws holding the element, carefully slid the connectors off of the terminals, reconnected them to the new baking element, put the screws back in. Entire repair took less than 10 min. Not much harder than changing a light bulb. Works like a brand new oven.

The bottom heating element burned out
The repair was easy. I turned off the power to the oven at he curcuit breaker. Using a phillips screwdriver, I removed the 2 screws that held on the old heating element. One screw came off easily. The other screw required a little WD-40 and alot of force, but I was able to get it off. I then removed the 2 wires from the terminals on the old element. Again, it required a little force and wiggling of the contact.
Reversing the process, I slid the contacts onto the terminals of the new heating element. Then, I screwed the backplate of the new heating element in place at the back of the oven with the 2 screws I had previously removed. I then restored power at the circuit breaker. The whole job took less then 10 minutes.

Bake element burned out the week before Thanksgiving!
I got online, and "Googled" bake element and Whirlpool (model #), and selected PartSelect by chance. The website had a diagram of my oven with parts and it was easy to select the right part. I paid extra to have it shipped overnight and it arrived the next day. I removed two screws, disconnected the old element, and replaced it with the new element. It worked!! I think I saved a lot of money by doing the repair myself. (I am a 66 yearl old woman and will choose PartSelect by choice for future appliance repairs.)

Oven would not heat up
FIrst of all I would like to say I was amazed at the quick service we received. I ordered the part at 1:00 pm on a Tuesday and my husband called me at 4:30 on Wednesday that the part had been delivered!! I was amazed.
My husband actually installed the bake element and it only took him a few minutes, the hardest part according to him was actually seperating the prongs of the old piece from the conncetion. Being that our oven is 24 years old could have something to do with that. Everything works just fine.
I am very glad to have found your company on the Web and have told everyone I know about your service.
