Oven not heating up
I removed the two screws for the bake element, diconnected the two wires attached to the bake element. I then reattached the wires to the new bake element, secured it with the two screws and I was done. It took five minutes and the oven works like new.

Original Bake Element Failed
Turn off the oven's breaker. Remove oven grates. Unscrew two screws holding in the bake element. Slowly pull the bake element out a few inches. Using pliers, CAREFULLY unattach the connectors from the ends of the bake element. DO NOT FORCE OR CRUSH THE CONNECTORS. Using your hands only, attach the connectors to the ends of the new bake element. Re-insert the element into the back of the oven. Re-insert the screws to attach the new element to the back of the oven. Turn the breaker back on. Turn the oven on bake to test the element. Go have a beer to congratulate yourself on saving $75 or more. Should take about 10 minutes if you're proceeding slowly & carefully. It'll take 2 minutes if you're reckless and get lucky, but it'll take 2+ hours if you're reckless and all goes wrong, causing you screw up the connectors and need to go buy some plus crimpers, etc.

bake element burned into
Used screwdriver to unfasten the old element from the oven frame. Then unplugged the two wire plugs from the back of the old element. Reversed the process to install the new. Couldn't have been any simpler.

The lower bake element did not heat up
First I made sure it was in fact the lower bake element that was broken. I turned the oven on & noted the element did not glow red. I also used a laser thermometer to verify the element was at "room temperature" for the room it was in (the oven - about 200 degrees, given what the upper bake element was contributing.)
And close visual inspection showed that a section of te bake element had melted thru where something had recently spilled onto it.
Swapping it out was easy - turn off the electrical breaker controlling the oven, unscrew the bake element, disconnect the electrical contacts to it (which required pliers, since they had been on a Looong time, and a little care to not use the pliers too hard & thus break the wires or contacts), then reverse the process to install the new element.
It works great now.

The element burned out
My husband undid the screws of the element. I went to Home Depot and they said I had to order in online. I could not find the part of the Home Depot website, so I googled the part and your business was easy to locate and order the part. It arrived in two days and I, the wife, was able to rescrew the element into place and, voila, the oven was functional again.

My husband, not a Mr. Fix It. And I would have done it myself but I had hurt my back and could not get down to do it.
Don't know, left the room.

Baking element was falling apart and not heating up.
I had no instructions, so I started by removing the two screws that seemed to hold the element together. I pulled the element forward and realized I had to seperate the element from the wires. It was an old unit so it took a strong tug but it did come apart. I was hoping at this point I was doing the right thing...I reconnected the new element , pushed it back in and replaced the screws. I was very impressed with myself! The new element heated up in no time. Yeah me!
Thank you "Part Select" for making it possible.

Oven Bake Heating Element burned out.
First I removed the two screwes that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires from the old element, then I connected the two wires to the new oven heating element. Pushed the unit back in place and reinstalled the two screws that hold it in place.( ALL Done)
