Pulled screws loose from element, pulled old element out and replaced with new..really simple

Removed, tested and measured the old element. Got on line to find the part and ran across Part Select. Ordered and received the part in three business days. It was an exact fit and in good order. The total operation including removal and replacement of the element, locating and ordering the part only took about thirty minutes.....and that includes the ten minutes it took me to find my #2 Phillips screwdriver! : )

I started by removing the door, then trying to remove all of the screws in the oven casing. Of course the very middle screw in the bottom of the oven was rusted and dammged by use. I had to use a drill bit and remove the old screw. After dissasembly of the oven casing, I found that the lip that supports the gasket was rusted and burnt away about 3/4 in. I placed the new gasket in and found that when closed it covered this defect and sealed. I reassembled and cheked for operation.Ok! Imortant--remove the elements before removing oven casing.

removed old and installed new

I turned breaker off for oven, removed screws from element mount, pulled the element out about two inches, then slid wire connectors up to unhook from element. Then set new element in, slid wire connectors on to back new element, then used pliers to make sure they were tight and secure by squeezing them, screwed element back in, turned breaker back on. Turned oven onto bake and left on for few minutes while it burned chemicals off element. Very simple!!

Removed old element with philips screw driver, reninstalled new element in reverse of removal.

found the element using visual grids supplied on the website. Measured old element and matched up with another after finding out that Whirlpool parts are interchangeable. Turned off power at breaker box. Replaced in 10 minutes.Fired it up to test at high temp for about 5 minutes.
