ECBP82WK2WW General Electric Range - Instructions

Pulled oven out from the wall and removed just the center section of the back that allows you to see the wires and not allow them to pull through. Took the two screws out from the inside of the oven that held the bake unit in place and after unhooking the wires from the back pulled the old bake unit out through the oven and inserted the new unit and fastened in place with the two screws. Then refasten the wire connections in the back of the oven and replace the rear panel. When removing the old burner from the inside lift it up and pull out. Previous ovens I had owned just plugged in and removed from the inside. This model is fastened. Other comments were helpful to me too.

Step 1. Turn off the breaker to the range. Step 2. Pull the range out from the wall. Many of the installation instructions recommend accessing the element from the front only and to use clips to keep the wires from popping back into the insulation. My recommendation is to just pull the range out and take off the back cover. This is much easier than worrying about losing the wires. The connectors will be easy to access from the rear. You know you need to clean behind your range anyways. Step 3. Remove the back cover of the range. Step 4. Disconnect the two wires that are attached to the lower element. Step 5. From inside the oven remove the two screws holding the element and remove the element. Step 6. Insert the new element and reinstall the two screws to secure it. Step 7. From the back of the range reconnect the two wires to the element. Step 8. Reinstall the back cover. Step 9. Turn the breaker back on. Step 10. Test the new element.

Control unit was easy to remove ,wires color coded-the face plate(key pad) needed to be separated from the old unit. Carefully used a hair dryer to warm the decal. . . Secured the old unit gently in a vise, warmed ( and separated slowly, with a razor blade and thin putty knife(patience). . Once removed, applied to the new unit. . . 5 Stars to partselect for service. . . . Turned a $400 repair into $100 do-it your self. Partselect will be my 1st "go to" from now-on.

Disconnect the range from the mains. Open the door. Remove the single screw holding the temperature sensor - this is located on the back wall on center and is screwed to the broiler mounting plate. Remove the four screws holding the boiler element and allow it to hang down on the wire; this exposes a space to feed the wire through later. Now move to the back of the range and remove the six screws that hold the central cover plate. Now push the insulation to up out of the way and you can disconnect the temperature sensor, pull it out through front, insert the new one and connect it. Reassemble in the reverse order. Mine worked perfectly!

I took a picture of the setup and damage . I then disconnected the burnt wires and replaced the wires . Then I installed the new terminal block and connected the wires to the proper positions. The reason for the failure was that the delivery people didn't tighten the cord when they installed the stove . I would check the connections periodically as to avoid another situation like this .

I found a video on Youtube with a similar circuit board repair and decided that I could probably do it. First and most important is to be certain the range is disconnected from its electric circuit. I did this by turning off the breaker at the electrical panel and then unplugging the range. Second, I removed a panel (four screws) on the back of my stove to expose the circuit board, Next I removed the board (four screws) without disconnecting the wiring. Then I removed the flexible plastic covering from the board which has the control button identities on it. This was the most difficult part because the glue was very sticky and I did not want to tear the cover. After removal, I stuck the plastic covering (still sticky) onto the new circuit board and made sure the buttons were in the correct position. Then, I unplugged the wires one at a time from the old circuit board and made sure I plugged them into the new board in the correct position. Finally, I reattached the new board and the back panel on the stove. This repair was easy and no problem for the average "do it yourself" type.

Unplugged from wall outlet, then opened oven front door. Reached in and removed two screws. Pulled oven sensor threw and detached electrical connector from old sensor. Plugged in new oven sensor and reversed removal procedure. No more Flashing F2 and oven temperature came to ready. Very easy.

Simply removed drawer and lined up the newsupports. Made sure the guide pin was lined up and installed with single screw

My husband pulled out the bake element with no thought about the connection wires. They totally disappeared. He couldn't find them anywhere. Of course, he started this little project at 6:00 PM, I said forget it, I need to use the stove for dinner. The next day I attempted to find the wires & couldn't. I pulled the stove out, took off the panel on the back, found the wires, pushed them through & used clothespins to hold them in place. I put the new element in, attached it loosely so I could put the insulation back in, used a socket wrench(if that's what it is called)tightened it up, went behind the stove & did a good cleaning, put the panel back on with the same socket wrench, pushed the stove back, turned the electric back on, turned on the oven & it worked perfectly. I called my husband & he said "don't turn the oven on until I check what you have done to make sure it is right". I said "it is already on & is working just fine, thank you!" If I would have done this myself in the first place, I would have said easy, 30 minutes(even if I had to pull the stove out)& it sure beats paying for a GE service repairman to do the job, which is what my husband originally wanted to do. I forgot to mention, make sure you turn the circuit breaker off before you start. I used directions that I found on your site from other customers that installed the same bake element & it was easy. They were such a big help. I was also very happy with PartSelect & how quickly I received my order. Sorry to write a book, but I thought that someone might get a laugh out of this story!

Directtions were by diagram only, no written instructions. Drawing was small and difficult to follow but the repair itself was easy.

Turned circuit breaker off to range as recommneded. Removed 2 screws from old heating element using a nut driver after removing the two racks from inside the oven. Considereing others had noted the wire sometimes came off and had to be retrieved by removing the back panel, I removed the back panel using the nut driver instead of waiting to see if that would happen. I removed the back panel after sliding the range out for easy access. Back panel was removed using the nut driver on approximately five screws that secured the back panel. This step may not have been needed because the wires were secured snug on the heating element. Secured new heating element and back panel. Turned on power after tripping circuit breaker and noticed a bright red hearting element in range within one minute. Real simple repair quickly done minutes after delivery by UPS.
