A5651XRS Admiral Range - Instructions

KILL POWER FIRST. I should have read other entries on here prior to starting. I would have learned that one leg of the element is always hot. Fortunately it arced against the oven, and all I had to do was replace the terminal. Could have been much worse. Unplug range or shut off circuit breaker prior to doing any electrical work. Verify 0 voltage before starting if you shut off the breaker.

During normal use, the heating element on my electric range burst into flames one day. Judging from the internet, this is actually fairly common! It's an electrical fire, so it's important to shut the oven off at once, and not a bad idea to cut the circuit breaker immediately. Then put the fire out and unplug. Remove what's left of the old element by unscrewing 2 mounting screws where it enters the oven rear wall. Taking door off of oven made it easier to lean in there. Then pull the crimp connections apart to get the wires off of each end. There are videos on youtube and partselect.com showing how. One thing they don't mention is that the wires may want to disappear back into the hole in the oven wall once they're loose. So hang onto them. I put a piece of duct tape around each one to keep it from slipping back into those small holes. When the new element arrived, I just reconnected the two crimp connectors and re-mounted the two screws. Of course, make sure range is unplugged while you're in there. Those two wires have 220V on them. I'm also never again going to leave my range on, either in baking or cleaning mode, when I'm not home. That fire was scary!

just removed two screws installed the unit replaced the two screws

Turned off circuit breaker to oven. Removed old unit by undoing screws and remove from clamp.Put to unit in by placing it to clamps and adjusting so it was level and screwed it back in. Voila! But now I think I need a sensor..

Remove heat coils, take body of coil inserts out, remove screws from body, cut old receptacle out, tie new recptacle wires to the old piece of left over wires using wire nuts, and reassemble body, insert heating coils and test.

followed your excellent video and the job was a breeze Thank you !

shut power off to range. removed oven shelves to make getting old element out a lot easier. removed screws that hold old element to back of oven - carefully pulled old element out about 3-4 inches. pulled power connectors off end of element. then installed new element in reverse order. Very easy to do. My wife could have done,but she does baking. I do the repairing. Thank-you for such great service. Greentown joe

turned breakers off unscrewed two screws, removed old element.Reattached wires on new element,put two screws back in. flipped breakers back on and its good to go.

number 1 was to shut off circuit breaker. Just removed 2 screws pulled out element slowly to expose wire terminals, removed wires carefully so terminal was not damaged. Replace element was spot on so install was in less than 5 min.

killed power...removed back of stove...removed switch and replaced it..reinstalled back...powered up

The repair only took me 10 minutes to do. I purchased the surface replacement kit from partselect.com. The part arrived in two days. The instructions were very simple. I read the instructions on line during my purchase. When I received the new part, I simply did the repair. Including shipping, the cost was less than $20.00. A service call would have been at least 5x the cost. Thank you for being there Partselect. (Tim from south bend indiana)

Turn the power off at the breaker first! then I used a phillip head screwdriver and unscrewed the two screws that was holding the metal plates on, then pulled the element out with the wires connected and pulled off the terminals. Then i put the new element in and hooked the wires to the terminals then pushed back through the back of the oven then screwed the plates back on then it was done!

The video was good but my model had and additional back plate that wasn't mentioned with 6 additional screws to take out and put back in. Other than that the video explained everything including checking the wires, clips. Oven works great now.

I searched Whirlpool, Sears and random appliance stores and Part Select was the only company to have the lens available. All other manufacturers said the lens was no longer manufactured as a stand alone piece and I would have to buy the entire light assembly. Thank you Parts Select!!!!!
