slide out upper protective sheet metal protector. it is loose and can contirbute to the element failure from door closing.
remove rear element screws,and upper support screws.
slide out upper element.
do not cut the wires, they contain mating plug to element. use pliers to pull apart the male-female
plug on element wires.
reverse procedure to install, use old extra screws on upper metal protector to prevent loose rubbing on upper element. there are holes for this no drilling required.
