Burnt out broiler element in oven
Broiler element failed catastrophically (with light flashes) while in use (1986 GE self-clean oven/four burner stovetop). Part number embossed on element plate - very difficult to see - took digital photo while still in oven and magnified. Easy to search for part. Good price, prompt delivery. Removal of old and install new awkward because of access angle and my decreasing nimbleness, as well as oven control thermocouple and support bracket in way. But no technical difficulties. Hex head metal screws holding in element; Notched phillips metal screws holding bracing bracket (easier to put element in by removing one side of bracket). Screws difficult to remove as in much used oven 26 years, and thermocouple partially blocking socket ratchet wrench. Would have been easier with 1/4" short extension. Before detaching element, I used twist ties around the leads tied to a large plastic clip so as not to lose them into oven back. PartSelect part was made by GE, not secondary source. Perfect replacement for this old part - still available.

Element burned out.
Opened breaker to kill power to unit and removed element. Reverse procedure and back to baking. Had no idea that i would find the correct part still in existence. Oh what a relief.

broken bake element
turned off the breaker for the oven. removed screws holding old element in place, and carefully pulled the old element out of the back. took apart the wires that came out of the insulation with a screwdriver. replaced with the new one. the first time i did this, the insulation started smoking, i believe because i didn't have the wires screwed on tight enough the first time. but yeah, the hardest part is getting the rusty screws out. i had to do some prying action.

Burned out elements
Part arrived the day after I ordered - unbelievable for our rural delivery !!!!!! Broil element was tough to get wires out far enough to unfastened and refasten new element. Bake element took ten minutes.

Bake element gave out
Simple to install. Shut down power, remove screws, install new element. EASY, and much cheaper than other sites.
