TEF361ESD Tappan Range - Instructions

removed old baking element and replace new base baking element very very easy

First, I disconnected the electrical power by pulling apart the plug behind the range. Next, I removed the screws holding the service plate on back of the top panel.I removed the switch knob by gently pulling it from the stem. Underneath I found 2 screws holding the switch in the panel. I removed these with a phillips screwdriver.I was able to pull the entire switch out to the rear leaving all wires attached.The new switch looked different from the original and the wires were configured differently but the wires were clearly marked. By removing one at a time and placing it on the new switch to the corresponding marking,it was a simple matter to wire the switch.I reinstalled the switch in the panel,put back in the screws to hold the switch, slid the knob back on the stem, reinstalled the rear panel,and plugged the power cord back in.The switch worked perfectly.

Watched the video on Partselect before ordering the part, to see what I was getting into. Part arrived super quick. Removed bad element just as video described, and installed new element in opposite direction. Job was complete, and super was in the oven in less than 15 mins after arriving home from work. Anybody can do this repair, don't waste your money on a service call!

first pulled the breaker, then removed the oven door. One wire came out easily but the other side would not budge so we had to take off the back of the range. They had cought the wire up in a loop and so it had no give. Removed it from the loop so if it ever needs to be replaced again we won't have the same problem. Used the advice from other comments and it went as discribed. I hope others also removed the door as I can't imagine how much harder it would be with the door in place.

Real easy to replace the heating element. Two screws and out came the old and in with the new one.

I had the part shipped directly to the rental house and the tenant installed it with no problem.

after reading the very first reader report, I was happily amazed how easy the repair was. it took longer to unwrap the part than it did to undo two small nuts, unclip the wire, clip on the replacement burner, and redo both nuts. thanks again for the help. saved lots of time and money.

I had to remove the back of the range in order to cut away the sheet metal that was contacted by the bent terminals that had to be done to shorten them to clear the back sheet metal panel.

Just followed the repair video provided...nothing to it!!! Very impress with the next day service and easy to follow video instruction..

Oven went out on Christmas Eve . . . yikes! Managed to get through the holiday by using my roaster and my husband was planning to call a repairman the day after Christmas. I told him to wait until I could do some research. I got on line, found this site and decided I could do it myself. I ordered the element on Thursday, received it on Friday. Great service! It took about 10 minutes to install, by following the video. (Took longer to find the right electric breaker than it did to change the element!)

I removed two screws and lifted out the ruined bottom. I set the new bottom in, but could not get the screws lined up so left them out. The bottom is heavy enough, it is not going anywhere. I am very grateful the part was available.

Used nutdriver to remove two screws located on the back inside of oven. I had to remove two push on connections and reconnect to new element connections and reinsert screws. Mission accomplished. However, I did have to remove the metal cover on the back of the stove because the element connection wires slipped back behind the oven wall. No problem at all. Also, I saved at least $10.00 or more by ordering it through Frigidaire instead of acquiring it from Sears where I bought the appliance and received the part within two days delivered to my front door. Thanks for a job well done.

The element wasn't heating - I noticed it was cracked apart in two places! We got the replacement part and pulled the stove out, unplugged it, unscrewed the back panel and pulled out the broken element. Reattached the new element and repeat the above steps in reverse - done! It's working like new again.

We have never been homeowners before and as renters the landlord always handled these issues. Now we are the landlord of our own home. When the heating element in the oven went out we knew one thing...we wanted to fix this issue as affordably as possible. Partselect not only had the best price for a replacement element, but the do-it-yourself video showed us step by step how to do this. The only other thing we had to buy was the 1/4" nut driver because we did not have one. We had the job done in less than ten minutes....and we've been baking ever since. The only advice I would give is to have a second person standing by to flash a light while unscrewing and rescrewing in the attachment plates. We will use this sight again for other minor household repairs.

very easy, put the power poff from the box, removed the (2) screw that holds the part in place, pull out the old one and atach the newone....put the power back....and was done...Was very easy!!!
