EER2000C00CC General Electric Range - Instructions

For someone who does not do this often, the directiions walked us through it well. Saved big service call. I helped him hold the unit in place and he was able to connect the connections, and it works! But it was awkward to get to.

I ordered it online and it came to our house in less than 24 hours which is very impressive since we live in a very remote place. There were responses from other people who had the same problem and what they had to do to fix it which was very helpful because we knew what might happen. The wires went into the back of the oven when the old element was removed. We were ready, opened up the back of the oven and stuck it back in, connected it, cleaned behind the oven while it was out, put it back, and it works like new. Thankyou so much!

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!

My husband took care if it, very simple...took him less than 10 mins.

removed old element--had read warnings about wiring would go back into insulation--pliers slipped and one wire "jumped" back into insulation--had to take back off stove to retrieve the connection--other than that incident, the connection was simple--suggestion--make sure you have needle nosed vise grip pliers to prevent wire from becoming lost in the insulation---could not find my pliers so had to use regular pliers.

Removed old lower bake element on the inside by removing nuts at the back of inside of stove which holds element in place. Then removed metal guard panel on the outside back of stove to disconnect old terminals. Then from the inside of oven removed the old element and reconnected the new element terminals.

Unplugged the old and plugged the new one. replaced the covers and turned the power back on. No problems!!
