The bake element died after 20+ years. Turn off the power at the breaker panel. A Phillips head screw holds a plate over each side of the bake element. After unscrewing the plate, you will notice an electric lead attached to a female clip slips onto the end of each side of the element. BE CAREFUL not to lose the clip(s) in the insulation after taking off the male end of the old element! I used a clothes pin to keep the clip from slipping away. If the clip slips away you'll have to fish it out of the back of the oven and that means pulling the oven out of the wall. Sound like fun? I thought not. Take the opportunity to clean your oven also. That was the hardest part. Clip the end of the new element to each of the clips, right and left side, replace the plate and screw in the Phillips head screw. Turn back on the power in the breaker panel. Voila! Done!
