AER1450BAH Admiral Range - Instructions

First of all, I shut off the electricity to the stove.

I had to remove the two screws holding the stovetop in place. I then lifted it up and braced it to keep it from falling, removed the bad element, carefully marking the 4 wires that were connected to the element. I then disconnected the wires, and removed the two brackets holding the element in place. I replaced it with the new element, reconnected the wires, returned the stovetop to it's original place, put the two stovetop screws in, and turned on the electricity. Then I turned on the element, and it works just fine.

very very easy. but keep in mind that step one, killing the power at the power box. I jumped that one to a near disastours outcome, thankully all turned out well byt there was a hell of bang and VERY bright flash. Still was worth "doing it yourself" just keep in mine the cut power side...Safety first!!!

removed the screws,pulled the element out about 3 inches disconnected the 2 wires

It was very simple, pull off the old one, then I took some pliers and pulled out the fasteners. Took new gasket from bag and it just snapped into place.

Turn off breaker.
Remove knob, pulls off. Pulled stove away from wall.
Removed front panel with switches attached.
There are screws in front and back.
Removed screws that hold switch in place.
Transferred wires one at at time to get proper location.
Reverse process for reassembly

Used cooktop creme, oven cleaner and Mr. Clean sponges. After many days of working on the surface, we were able to remove 99% of the sauce.

Piece of cake! Took more time to find the screwdriver than it did to replace the element!
Unplugged the stove. Removed 2 screws. Pulled the element out about 2" and disconnected the wires on each end (wires are attached to a metal clip that just pushes on to the end of the element. Threw the old element away. Unpacked the new elements. Connected the wires at each end. Pushed element into place and screwed in 2 screws. Plugged oven/stove back in and voila! That's it!

I had some confusion about the correct series number associated with my stove and called Partselect. They confirmed the part I was looking at was correct in less than 5 minutes. I then completed the order online. Even with standard shipping my order was processed immediately and I received the heating element the next day.

Turned off the breaker. Removed the two screws in the front holding the range top down. Loosened the screws holding the element in place while balancing the range top with my shoulder. Removed the wires from the older element one at a time and attached them to the new element. Put the new element in place and screwed back in place. If I had a little help with the range top I think I could have completed it in 5 minutes but I was at home alone and the other stories of doing this repair made it seem easy enough and it was.

This was a complete no brainer. The easiest repair I have ever done. Take out the old screws, remove element and replace with new one, replace screws. Took less than 5 minutes :)

looked for how to video on you tube. It saved me lots of money. Anyone could do it.

Shut off power to stove. Moved stove out. Loosened screws in top and middle back of stove and removed cover. Took mental note of color order of each wire and unhooked each wire from old switch and reattached to new switch in exact order of color of wire as original. Remounted cover on back of stove and reattached screws. Turned on power and turned on burner and tested burner for heat. Turned off burner, slid stove back and bingo - done. Saved a lot of money.

My husband did it. I was not there to see it. He said it took less than one minute, just snapped in and worked beautifully.

Shipped on timely manner,I will order again from Part Select, installing was a 15 minute job, that what I did, 1 unplugged stove, 2) removed 4 screws, (2 on top bracket and 2 on back) , 3) slide unit out couple inches enough to disconnected the wires from each end of unit and removed old part, installed new unit by reconnecting end wires, pushing unit slowly toward back of oven until wires find it's right position, set it back in place with the 2 screws on top bracket and 2 screws on back, done!!

My wife and I did the repair. The most difficult part was finding the correct replacement part. The store where we bought the stove lied about what part was needed, which cost us a lot of online time before we found the part. UNPLUG THE STOVE or turn off the breaker. We removed the back of the stove, which is two or three pieces, completely. The thermostat is part of the single oven control. This job inclludes replacing the oven thermocouple (temperature sensor) which is a small copper tube about a foot long which is inside the oven itself,held in two spring clips on the left upper side near the front. You install the new thermocouple, which comes with and is attached to, the replacement thermostat from the back and top of the stove. Unplug the top burner elements and remove them, along with the drip pans. Remove the single screw that holds the connector for each burner to the stove top. Then lift the front of the stove top and remove it. Remove the screws holding the inner top of the stove. It has a tab on each side that slides under the flange of each side of the stove, so you must remove all the screws from the back of one side so you can swing it out a bit. Then you can remove the inner top, Under that is insulation covering the top of the oven. Remove the old thermocuple. It is easier to cut it instead of fishing it all the way back. Just be careful to note how it is installed. Silde the new thermocouple in from the thermostat, under the insulation and through the small hole in the top of the oven box and clip it in place. The clips are flimsy so support them as you remove and install the part. Hold the new thermostat right next to the old one BEFORE you disconnect any wires. Unplug each wire in turn and plug it into the new thermostat before going on to the next wire. Watch for the short wire that connects from the thermostat to the oven indicator light. Then remove the old thermostat and put in the new one. Reverse the steps of the disassembly process to get it all back together. Be sure the insulation holds the thermocouple in the center of the hole mentioned above. That's it. Be careful of the sheet metal parts of the stove; Crosley didn't bother to deburr them and they can give you a nasty cut. Reconnect the power and test. If it all works, maybe you can talk your wife into baking something.

I just bought my first condo and sure enough something broke in my oven. I thought "Oh great - I'll need to buy a new one..." After some research and a friend's advice - I was assured that I only needed to replace the broiler element. After researching the issue I googled replacement parts which led me to this web-site. I was amazed how easy and inexpensive it was for me to replace the part. The directions were easy, simple, and spot-on! The instructions that were provided were easy to follow. I also utilized YouTube instructions as well for additional visual guidance. The shipping was super fast and the element was packaged very well. Thank you so much!
