Amazingly simple. Removed 2 screws, pulled off 2 wire terminals, removed broken element. Re-attached wire terminals, installed screws.......baked some cookies to reward myself. lol Actually, my girlfriend replaced this part. I just talked her through it. Thanks Partselect. I wasn't able to save you any cookies though.

Just dropped in

Removed heating element, installed new drip pan, replaced heating element. Was amazed at fast delivery - ordered in afternoon, arrived fed ex next morning!

I followed a video on google and once I shut the power off, it took me less than 15 minutes to fix. Saved me atleast $30.00 for a Home Warranty Serv. Charge.

New receptacle element. I am a girl and I did it.!!!!

I had determined that the the burner itself was no longer capable of connecting because when I removed another burner and inserted it, it worked just fine. Also, the defective burner had not worked when inserted into another outlet. I was delighted to be able to purchase a replacement so quickly and easily on my own, without having to call a repair person or seek a retail outlet.

Opened box took out part installed on 5 minutes easy as pie

Removed two screws on each end of the bottom element, removed blade wires from element and removed element. Put new element in to place in oven, put blade wires on to end of element and put in the two screws that held the element in place. Watched and followed the video instructions on the website. Very easy to repair.

When we received the new element for the oven. We followed the directions that where given to us and had no problem installing the new element. It took no time before the the oven was working again. thank you for posting the directions to make the job go easier.

Was easy cut the wires of as told to do wire nut the ends together and put back together and tested and worked great. Done

I followed the instructions given on your great site. Thank you so much.

Disassembled upper unit with Phillips screwdriver. Removed 2 "plug connectors" from element switch. Replaced switch. Plugged both connectors back onto switch. Reassembled the upper portion of the range. Tested and OK

plugged it in to the spot where missing element was.

Our Maytag Gemini is about 10 years old. One night the 8" front right element was smoking and had a white hot spot on the burner. I quickly turned it off and after the element cooled I removed it. Since one 8" element was burned out, but the rest of the range and oven worked, I assumed I could get it fixed. Rather than call the service man for $99 for a diagnostic visit, I decided to go to PartSelect and get prices on parts. They had the easiest site to use with part numbers, exploded part drawings, etc. Since I had to replace one burned out element anyway, I ordered the burner and the wiring receptacle. I assumed that was step one. The parts came in about two days. It took me about 20 minutes to put them in with no problems. Very easy. However, the burmer still would not work. I went back to the site and determined the only other part it could be was the infinite switch. The bad element little light on the top control panel was not going out even after I put in new parts. I figured it was shorted out and frozen in the closed position, so I ordered a new one from PrtSelect. It came again in about two days. This part was easy to replace, except it took longer because the entire back of the oven had to be removed. Three pieces of sheet metal had to be removed and two plastic end caps. Sheet metal has sharp edges. Watch out that you do not get cut. A lot of screws got removed and put back. You have to be careful that the three pieces of sheet metal are put back correctly because several edge tabs lap over each other. The infinite switch fixed the problem. Took me about two hours to do the switch replacement, but that counted cleaning the sides of the oven and underneath the oven (Yuch!). Now everything works fine. I suspect that the old wiring receptacle was fine and just the infinite switch and element needed to be replaced. In any case, the wiring receptacle was cheap. In the end, the repair cost me the same $99, but I spent it in parts and not parts plus installation so I was way ahead.

Remove heating element coils. & old drip pans. Install the new drip pans and reinsert the heating elements and insure all elements were level. For aesthetic reasons I replaced all the drip pans - 2 x 8" & 2 x 6".
