Broiler Element failure
Turned off power at panellboard. Disconnected mounting hardware from inside oven chamber. Pulled failed heating element with wires attached into the oven chamber. Disconnected wiring and reconnected them to the new heating element. Tightened screws while holding connectors with pliers. Applied electrical tape to connections. Pushed wires back into opening and secured heating element back into place. Restored power nad verifed proper operation. The other heater purchased will be used when the bake element finally fails,
Broiler element finally burnt out after many years of cooking.
(1) Turned off power source. (2) Removed rust on screw heads before attempting to loosening them up. (3) Pulled the element out to expose the connections. (4) Disconnected with phillips screw driver, taped off wires to prevent mixed-up during re-installation. (5) Re-installed new element using new screws provided.
Removed the racks, removed two screws holding the element to the back of the oven, removed two screws holding wires to the element, installed by the reverse. BUT in my case the new element still didn't heat. The part was perfect so when the old element melted and shorted, it must have damaged the controlling switch (220V requires dual pole switch--apparently one side is now bad). Since the oven is over 30 yrs old, I'm returning the element and will buy a new oven.
I turned off the breaker to the oven. Removed the old element and replaced. Turned on the oven breaker and turned the over to 350 and it was working great. I was very proud of myself as a 68 year old widow.
Turned off the power to the oven. Removed the racks. Removed two screws holding the unit to the back of the oven. Removed two screws holding the wires to the terminals. Removed the old unit. Reversed the process. Piece of cake. The only "difficulty" was that the old wire-to-terminal screws required a nut driver (as did the unit-mounting screws) while the new wire-mounting screws required a #2 Phillips screw driver. Took me a couple of minutes to get one of those from the garage.
Replaced baking lower element by disconnecting the mounting plate and wire connectors at the base of the element and then reinstalling new element by reconnecting the wire connectors and mounting plate. Key to this project: Know how to identify the cause of the problem as the crack in the baking element was not immediately visible until it was removed. One could easily have assumed that some other part of the range controls were defective.
First I cut the power then I pulled the mounting screws, pulled hte elements out enough to get the screws out and then did it in reverse. Piece of cake.
The Bake Element in the oven had "blown out" on the right side, and wouldn't heat.
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. Then I connected the two wires to the new element with the screws provided and simply replaced the screws that hold the element in place. In 20 minutes the job was done. It was a snap to make the repair!
Removed the nuts securing the element to the back of the oven, pulled out the wiring and unscrewed the wires. Went on line and found the part, ordered it, received really quickly and put the part back in the oven. Works great. Oh, I also turned off the power.
Simple repair that was complicated by not being able to remove the oven door, leaving a long reach to the element connections in the back of the oven. Other than the accessibility issue, the repair is easy. Remove two scews, pull the element out about 3 inches to access and unscrew the screws holding the wires to the element. Then reverse the process with the new element. But, because of the long reach, there were alot of dropped screws and cussing.
Ordered Bake Element - 240V from Partselect , when part received removed broken element with a screwdriver., replaced with new Bake Element with a screwdriver. Very easy to do.
Turned off the power to the stove, pulled out the racks, unscrewed the old element and pulled off the electric connectors...easy so far...installed the new element to the electric connection, pushed back into the back of the stove and reinstalled the screws. Turned on the power and then the stove...now I can bake an apple pie!
