The bottom element of the oven stopped working, therefore, we could not bake anything.
First, I turned the breaker off to the oven, that's the most important step.
Next, I turned on the oven to make sure the oven was not energized.
I then took out two phillips screws that were holding the baking element in place.
Next I pulled the element out slowly to expose the wires that connected to the element.
I removed the connecters, took out the damaged element, replaced it with the new element.
Last, I screwed the two phillips screws back in, and saved a $65.00 service call.

The original bake element cracked, causing sparks and a small, brief fire on the crack. Next, the element would not heat.
First I turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. Then, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches to disconnect the two wires. The connectors were tight, so required a little wiggling to disconnect the wires.
Upon receipt of the replacement element, I turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. Then, I reconnected the element wires, pushed the connect wires into the back of the oven, and rescrewed the unit in place. With the circuit breaker turned back on, I tested the oven. It worked great. Very easy!

Element not working
Now I know why everyone said "less than 15 mins" for installation time...because "less than 5 min" wasn't an option! Went exactly as everyone described, just more quickly - turned off breaker, removed two screws, disconnected wires, reconnected wires to new element, re-attached it with screws, turned on breaker, checked it - worked like a charm. It was more work opening the box! Would have taken less time if my flashlight hadn't rolled off the open oven door leaving me with poor lighting conditions.

My bottom element was no longer heating.
First I checked to make sure the power was off with an electrical meter (wiggins). Next 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. I then pulled off the 2 wires replaced the element and put the 2 wires on the new element. I screwed it back into place and tested the element. When I turned the oven on my new element began to glow red and the repair was now complete. Super easy.

heat element burnt out
First I unpluged the stove, then I removed the two screws that hold the heat element in place. Then I pulled the heat element out a couple of inches and disconnected the two wires.
I just plugged in the new element wires, pushed the element in place and replaced the screws.
It only took about 10 minutes at the most.

Element went bad
I read other repair stories before I completed the instillation and let me tell you that in it's self was a great help.
Very easy to install two screws in the front but you must first remove the wires behind the oven otherwise you may damage the wires by pulling them through.
Part was on order and I still received it within three days.
You guys are the best, I recommend the site to all of my friends and family.
