Element on range melted

Pretty simple, except the element melted very close to one end, so the screw holding the element to the rear of the stove was partly melted also. Had to drill it out & used a nut & bolt to secure the new element.
Apart from that, it was a breeze. As others have done, I re-tightened the lugs that the element plugged into.
Suggest a "test heating" before using stove: mine had a strong odor on first use, fine afterwards
