The Broil element in my stacked double oven exploded in the upper unit.
The element comes with the element attached to the bracket that holds it in place in the top of the oven. I had removed the 2 screws-one on each side--on the old element and disconnected the spade connections on the wiring after I pulled the element out far enough to expose them. I then reconnected the new element, pushed it back into place and re-installed the screws that hold it in place. A pretty simple job but I got a tremendous feeling of accomplishment after it was done. Saved a bunch of $$$ also!!

Bake element went up in smoke.
Took out the old one and put the new one in. Rather than repeat what the other answers, just read them. Simple and straight forward and very very easy. And they shipped the part very very quickly. Thank you!

Plug block was broken
I removed the entire burner assembly to avoid having to turn things off at the breaker - the whole assembly can be removed completely from the stove I had. Once it was out and disassembled, the toughest part was putting the new wires into the new block correctly. Once that was done, I had to select the right mounting bracket - there were 2 in the kit. Easy, just attention to detail. The rest of the instructions were easy to follow, re-doing the wires. The re-assembly was trivial, and it worked first time!

Lower oven element not heating
I removed the door and racks to get easy access to the electrical connection. I loosened the screws holding the element in place and disconnected the element from the electrical connection. I connected the new element and inserted the screws firmly attaching it in place. I placed the racks in the desired location and then put the door back on the hinges.

Burners did not get hot or went on and off
After carefully inspecting existing burner receptacles, I unscrewed them, raised and propped stove top. Determined which bracket to use from new kit and proceeded to cut and strip wires, twist ends together with supplied ceramic caps and heated shrink wrap on that junction. Works great. BTW got parts in 2 days in great shape and good directions.

The element just broke in pcs.
Turn off power,take out 2 screws to release element, unplug wires, pull out old element, put new element in hook up wires, put in 2 screws, and walla all done. Turn power back on. One thing to do that I did not. Clean the tag off before starting element. I got smoke from that.

upon disconnect, the wire leads sprung back inside their outlet holes
Removed screws holding element in place. Removed wire leads from element. Wire leads were under a bit of tension which pulled them back through their holes in rear oven wall. This required taking back of oven off to reinsert wires through holes. Used a clip to hold wires and prevent them from going back through holes. Attached wires to new element and removed clips. Placed element bracket in place and discovered that both screws had stripped threads (due to years of vibration, I'm guessing). Rummaged through garage and found two screws that worked. Replaced back of oven and re-plugged oven into outlet.

Bake element in oven broke (snapped in one place)
TURNED OFF POWER to oven! Removed the oven racks to make work room. I unscrewed the two phillips head screws holding the element in place. Pulled the element out to expose the wiring clipped to the element. Pulled the wiring clips off the old element, clipped them onto the new element. Pushed the whole thing back into place in the back wall of the oven. Turned on power and checked to make sure everything was working. Screwed the two screws back in place. Baked a sweet potato and took a picture!
