CWEF312GSA Crosley Range - Instructions

An appliance repair man came to my house told me it would cost me $400 dollars to replace my broken control panel and he would have to come back since it needed to be ordered. At this point I had no idea what it was, were it was and how hard it was to fix. But after hearing the total $400 uttered from the obviously delusional repair man, I swiftly kicked him out of my house. Took me 15 minutes to do the research to find what I needed. I ordered the part. 3 days later it arrived. I went back online to watch a 3 minute instructional video. I changed it out in less than 5 minutes. Saved $300 bucks!

Removed two screws , unplugged old element , plugged in new element , installed the two screws and the oven was back in business . I did cut the power to range/oven before starting .

unplug bad element,plugin the new one

It was the holiday season and all through the house, cries of "what's wrong with the oven?" were heard from my spouse. "I know you can fix it!" she said, trying to flatter, so I logged on to Partselect.com to see what was the matter. I found what I needed and ordered with a click, and to my surprise my part arrived quick. I unplugged the oven, thinking "safety first" and bent down to inspect it, expecting the worst. With flashlight, wrench and pliers and still feeling queasy, I was surprised to find out that it was really quite easy. The two screws in the flanges came out with a twist and the terminal slid off, no need for a fist. With the new element in place and the terminals on, the screws were replaced and the repair was all done. “You really DID fix it” she said with a look, “Now get out of my way, I gotta cook!”

I watched the video that was furnished online and did what they said. . . . . I do alot of do-it-yourself project. . . . Because of my income input. . . So this probably saved me a lot of repair man expense. . . . Linda

I read other experiences on line and determined that it was either the element of the control switch. So I decided to order the control. When deciding I had removed the upper back sheild and put it back on. Subsequently a couple of days later there were popping noises culminating in a flash and the stove went 'dark'. I figured that I had pinched a wire when I put the upper shield back on. I removed the shield and looked for black 'short' marks. None were visible. I went to the electric panel and tried to reset the 60 amp breaker. It wouldn't reset and momentarily the lights dimmed. Uh-oh! Went back to stove and opened area where the cord connects to the stove. Direct short- a lose terminal block bolt had welded itself to the chassis! I redid all connections and lined inside of stove back with duct tape- also redid the connections with bolts, nuts and lockwashers covered each with electrical tape. Now reconnecting electric I put the new switch in. Removed the knob from the front and started to transfer the wires from the back. This was a little confusing because the control I received looked different from the one in the stove. After some checking I looked closely at the terminals on each control and they had tiny number/letters on them like H1, Li, H2 etc. So I just transferred H1 0n one cntrol switch to H1 on the new switch- L1 to L1 and so on. Put it all back together, turned on power and everything is working great.

Took a set of pliers and popped the old ones out and snapped the new ones in

Before doing the repair I watched the video provided by Parts Select! Great idea and extremely helpful the way your technician walked through all the details. Went in "smooth as silk". Thanks to Parts Select, all is well and the wife is baking me a cake!

The instructions were all we needed. My wife did the repair and I held the flashlight since I just had surgery. Everything went just fine.

Removed the screws that held the element in. I didn't have the proper tool, so I used an adjustable wrench. Pulled the element out until the wires were exposed. Pulled the connectors off the old element, put them on the new one, reinserted the wires, and put the screws back in. Easy!

We noticed a small hole in the heater element. My fiance did some research and found your website. He ordered the part for less than $25. Shipping service was very fast. We had the part within 2 days. He had it installed in less than 10 minutes. Thanks! for the great service. We were able to use the oven for everything we needed to bake for New Year. Excellent service.

Took the old one out and put the new one in.

orderd part and saw the video and it was very ease to replace part

I removed the old heating element, ordered a new one and replaced it with the new elemnt. Sounds super easy, however, when I removed the old element the wire holding the left prong slipped through the hole into the back of the oven. I had to remove the back of the stove and feed the wire back through, hold it in place with an adjustable wrench while attaching the new elemnent. Hardest part? Plugging the stove back in!! Not the easiest thing when you're a small woman with short arms (which is me). :)

I just followed the video. Unplug the stove, undo two screws holding the element, pull it out to get to the terminals, pull off the electrical terminals, connect the terminals to the new element, push back in the new element, replace the screws, plug in the stove and set the clock. It did not take even five minutes from start to finish. You will need a flashlight to see as the oven light doesn't come on while the stove is unplugged!
