Bake element burnt out.
I unscrewed the two screws holding the element in place and disconnected the two wires. Removed the element from the oven and replaced with the new one. Plugged in the two wires and replaced the two screws that secures the element to the back of the oven. Turned on the oven to test and turned back off when satisfied everything was O.K. Easy job.

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.

Bake element did not work.
I ordered part from Part Select, which literally arrived in 2 days. I unscrewed the two (2) screws holding the old bake element in the oven. Pulled out the element and detached the wires connected to the element, which was easily done without any tools. Attached those wires (again easily by hand with no tools) to the new bake element and screwed the two (2) screws back in. The whole process including ordering the part online, unpacking the box and installing took 15 minutes. Wonderful and in time for my wife and daughter to bake Christmas cookies!
