element burnt out
(e.g. First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires... Really really easy . I am a single woman with no repair experance and had no problems.
Make sure whichever surface element you are to replace is OFF.Carefully remove surface element by pulling it out of socket and remove drip bowl. Cleaned area around range top and place new or old drip bowl in place. Line up drip bowl cutouts and place on range top and simply push in/plug (2 prongs)in new surface element and place on drip bowl. It's that easy! To install 2 new surface elements and drip bowls took less than 5 minutes.
our rental stove needed new drip bowls and heat elements
i at first had a hard time finding the model # on this older electric stove. i did a chat with a rep from partselect.com and they sent me a web site that showed me where to look for it. that helped a lot. found it and searched on partselect.com . they had just what was needed. the purchase was easy and shipping was fast. i was worried it was going to be time consuming finding what i needed, not true once i found their web site. also, installation was easy.
Removed back access panel of oven (several screws). Unplugged element wires (two slip connectors). Removed two element mounting screws from the inside of oven, and removed old element. Reversed proceedure to install new part.
over-used, well beyond useful life bake element began to disintegrate/crack/melt.
Probably a good idea to either unplug unit or make sure oven is in off position first, then remove screw on either side of old bake element, then gently pull out about 3 inches to expose wire connections and carefully disconnect each slide-on connector. Dispose old element in trash and replace with new one from partselect.com in reverse order. Very simple and much less expensive than either buying a new appliance(if you've been satisfied with what you have), paying a repairperson to come in and/or trying to hunt down the right part from a "local" appliance store/warehouse. The part was easily identifiable via the graphic depiction on the partselect.com website, arrived in excellent condition and in record time for normal ground shipping(less than 2 days from order date!), and I experienced kind and competent customer service from the get-go. A do-it-yourselfer like me really can't ask much more than that when it comes to appliance repair!
Heating element stopped getting hot or even warm for that matter
I pulled the range out of its space, disconnected the power cord, disconnected the two electic power wire on the heating element. Then I disconnected the two retaining nuts on the inside of the oven and pulled the heating element out. Then reversed the order and wala, hot oven and now my corn bread does not burn.
took out the two screws pulled the element out unplugged the wires, plugged in the new element, stuck the element back in the holes and put the screws back in
Only two screws to remove, so it was very easy to just pull the element out, remove the wire connectors from the old element and place on the new one. This is one repair you should NEVER call a service person for! Be brave--anyone can do this.
