I unplugged the stove. Then I lifted up the top of the stove to expose the burners. I unscrewed the necessary screws and plugs that attached the old burner to the stove. Then I simply put the new one back in it's place. The stove was one of those flat burner stoves, and I was a little concerned that I would be able to do it. The repair man wanted to charge me $150.00 for labor.
1) Turned off breaker to stove. 2) Removed all 4 control knobs. 3) Removed the nut/washer on the failed knob. 4) The cooktop is so heavy that is it not mounted to the counter top. Removed the drawer under the cooktop and push the unit up and out. 5) Get help and carefully flip the cooktop upside down. 6) Using a Philips screw driver remove the 6-7 screws that hold the box cover in place over the controls. 7) The circuit board is held in place by 2 clips for the digital display. Pinch the clips together and lift the circuit board up. Note it is a very tight fit and I broke one of the clips. 8) Remove all wire connections and replace with new unit. 9) Snap the new unit in and put the nut/washer back on knob. It will be tight, but do not over tighten the nut. I did it hand tight and that was enough. 10) Screw the cover back on and carefully put the cooktop back in place (2 people). 11) Put the knobs back on and turn the breaker on. All is good.
Removed 2 screws located underneath the front lip of the range top. Lifted range top and supported. Removed the 2 screws at either end of the support bracket. This bracket holds the elements in position. Be careful not to let the elements fall out when removing. The elements are now free to replace. Swap out the old with the new and be sure to reconnect the wires to the correct terminals on the new element. I did 1 wire at a time so as to not make a mistake at reconnecting the wires. Then replace the support bracket with the 2 screws and lower the range top in place and put back the 2 screws that hold the range top in position. VOILA!! Success. It works. The wife is now happy again:)
