Visitor Rating Oven element burnt out and broke apart. Overall Rating: Very Helpful Rated By: 5 Customers Posted By: Lana From Pineville, WV Posted: 1/5/2008 1:25:43 AM Appliance Repaired: Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven/Hood Age Of Appliance: More than 10 years After ordering the element, found out it was the wrong element, I needed an 18.5 inch x 15.5 instead of the 15 1/4 x 15 1/2"...I slowly bent the element in shape to fit my oven. It works beautiful. But for you guys, order the right one. Don't forget to measure your old elements spread from connection to connection. Install the new element and then test to be sure it works proper.
