Oven began heating irratically and got worse.
Funny, I suppose. We decided to buy a new stove given the old age of the old one. Problem is, on delivery day it wasn't delivered and we discovered that there wasn't even one in the warehouse. At that point we got ticked and decided to look into the problem. The website led us right to the problem. We ordered, the part arrived the next day and the replacement was simple. Just unscrew the holder inside the over, unplug the old element and plug in the new. I needed needle nose pliers because one of the wires slipped behind the insulation. We also bought a thermometer and found that the calabration was right on the money. Happy campers... we saved $400.

Bake element would not get hot
Found breaker box and shut off power to stove, Check to make sure you turned the right breaker off before you attempt to put you hands in it, also make sure all the switches on the stove are in the off position . Open Oven Door, I used a Phillip screw driver to remove the two screws holding the Bake element in place . pull out to reach wire connections and gently pull connectors from element. Remove the old Bake element and Install the New one,by reversing process in removing the old one. after you have it back in place turn breaker back on at breaker box turn oven control to Bake setting, turn Oven Temperature control to around 200 degrees and Element should began to glow bright orange, job complete, it's that easy!~

Opened oven door to the first "stay open" position...lifted door straight up...and off of the hinges....which removes the door....and allows easier access to oven.
Removed oven racks
Removed two philips head
Pulled burned out element toward the front of the oven.....exposing the two connector wires.
Used pliers to pull wire connectors from burner element connectors.
Reversed the order of this process....to install new element.

Oven wouldn't heat
I unplugged the stove/oven then unscrewed the bottom element (two screws in the back). I pulled the two electrical clips off the old bake element then removed it. I pushed the electrical clips on the new back element then screwed it back in. After plugging the oven back in and turning it on the oven worked perfectly!

The bake element wore out
I order the part on 7/29 and much to my surprise, it arrived the very next day. It took less than 15 minutes to remove the old element and installed the new one. It was a little difficult to unplug the old one and took quite a bit of pulling but it came out okay. Plugging in the new one and screwing on the cover plate was easy.
