WEF351ESC Westinghouse Range - Instructions

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!)

It was just replacing the element no tools were required.

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.

Although I had a general idea of what to do, I watched a video on this website; it ensured me that I could repair this. Over all I spent 30 minutes repairing the oven, but 15 minutes of that was spent trying to find the right tool. I didn't have a screw driver with a square head, so I ended up putting a square bit in my electric drill. This WAS A VERY EASY REPAIR. On the video, the repairman took less than 3 minutes, but that was optimum. All you do is (1) make sure the breaker is off; (2) remove the bad element by taking two screws out at the back of the oven; (3) disconnect the wires coming from the oven; (4) hook the same terminals up to the new element; (5) push the wires back inside the oven body; (6) insert the screws into the holes on the new element; (7) tighten the screws to the oven body and YOU ARE THROUGH. THAT EASY!

1/4" nut driver, just took the screws out disconnect the element. Reversed the process. Really easy. and outstanding delivery.

Either disconnect power plug or shut off breaker to oven. Remove racks from oven. Remove the two screws from back of oven that hold element. CAREFULLY pull the ends of element from back of oven so as not to loose the connected wires. Disconnect wires from element terminals. (Be careful not to allow the wires to fall into the backside of oven) Reattach wires to the new element, carefully insert through the holes and reinstall screws.

Safety first. Turn the breaker off. This repair is so easy. Remove the two screws at the back of the oven. The heating element will pull out about 2 inches. Disconnect the heating element from the terminals. Plug the new heating element back in. Reinstall the screws. Turn the breaker back on. Your finished. This repair probably saved me $100.00 for a service call and parts.

I followed the online video and it worked out just as it said. I unscrewed the contact bolts, disconnected the contacts, ( they were a little corroded but eventually came out with a little persistence and effort) and reconnected the new element, and ...Voila!!! It worked Be sure to to turn off the power before beginning the job.

I followed the video,that was offered and it was a snap. Used my nut screw driver and removed the screws pulled the element forward . Then removed the wire clips one by one,and coiled the wires so they wouldn't retract into the back. Connected the wire clips to the element and pushed them back into the open area . Screwed the nuts crews back into place . Set the oven to bake and watched the element turn a red glow . Completed ! I saved the elderly couple money on a new stove or expense from a service call. There cost just the cost of the element and a cup of coffee. My cost none just satisfaction helping an elderly couple.

We removed the back of the stove, unscrewed switch from the stove face and unplugged the wires from the old switch. The new switch was universal so I had to follow the numbers by the prong on the old switch to determine which was the correct prong to plug the wires, plugged them in, screwed the switch back to the stove face and replaced the back Viola all fixed.

Used 1/4 nutdriver unscrewed the old unit from the back of the oven wall pulled out the element, pulled off the blade connectors off the push on terminals, took the new element and pushed on the new connectors screwed the element in place and presto that was it ! Repair time was less than 5 minutes.

Very easy repair. Removed oven door, removed two screws holding the element in place, unplugged the wires at each end and installed the new element.
