CustomerRoy from Snellville GA
Baking element in lower over failed with a "bang"
PULLED THE POWER CORD!! Loosened a couple of screws holding the element to the rear oven wall, removed the electrical wires (red on left, yellow on right) attached to the baking element, removed old element, inserted new element and reattached the wires respectively thereto. One minor glitch did occur. The RED wire inadvertently slipped back through the hole into the insulation and was not retrievable. I removed the small metal plate housing the wires on the back bottom of the stove, pushed the red wire (plentiful length) back into the oven, reinstalled the plate, connected the red wire to the bake element, reconnected the power, element began to heat. Mission accomplished. One caution: Pay attention to the SHAPE of the failed element before ordering online or buying in person.

Bottom element caught on fire, when looked at it, it was broken in two.
Turned off breaker to oven, removed racks, unscrewed the plate holding the element in place, and pulled out the wires a few inches. All easy and fine to this point. Never having done anything like this before, I wasn't sure HOW the element was attached to the wires, so tugged on them a bit, but nothing budged. Got a flashlight (it got dark in there with the upper part of my body in there)looked again, but still couldn't tell. Referred to this site and saw reports of "plug and play", went back and examined the ends more closely on old and new element, realized that they slide straight on and straight off in a "sleeve". Got some pliars and pulled the ends apart. Slid the new end on to one wire, but couldn't get the other one on until I realized I had crushed it a bit with the pliars. Reopened the "sleeve" with a vegetable knife and slid the other end of the element into the "sleeve" at the end of the wire. Then pushed the wires back in and screwed plate on. It took about 23 minutes, and that included time to look up this site and do some reading, jump up to find a flashlight, and jump up and find a pair of pliars. My hubby was out of town for 3 weeks and suggested I wait til he got home--glad I didn't wait.

Lower element burnt out.
This was really easy. I took out the lower oven racks. Most important - Turned off the breaker to the stove. Unscrewed the element and popped it out. Put in the new one and screwed it back in. Turned on the breaker and I was ready to go.

Lower oven burner caught fire and burned out.
Took 5 minutes... I did it in my pajamas... after a heavy duty margarita!
Here's a tip: start from behind.

Heating element cracked and no longer worked
This was the easiest repair I have ever done. The element was shipped right away and I received it in about 3 or 4 days. 2 screws were removed and reinserted to replace the heating element.

CustomerAnthony from Crownsville MD
Lower oven lower electric element
It's a straightforward remove and replace with two screws. The lower element is most likely to go with years of baking when bake pans overflow on to the element, It can be checked with an electrical probe for resistance and continuity. If the oven is preheating and the lower element doesn't heat that is definitive. We had it checked under the extended warranty but the tech wasn't thorough enough. The extended warranty is of questional value.

CustomerKatherine from Lucerne IN
Bake element on lower oven stopped working
Took out two screws and carefully pulled out the element and removed the wires that were attached by clips. Put the clips on the new element and carefully pushed it back into place. Put the screws back and TA! DA! I was baking again.
Thank-you.

Lower bake element burned out
thank you everyone here for your posts which gave me the confidence to try this myself. Could not have been easier and I have zero DIY talents. Just as other have described, unplug oven, unscrew plate holding element, slip wires off of old and onto new and reattach. Perfect!

Lower oven heating element burned through because of corn muffin mix falling on element
Turned off oven power. Using a Phillips head screw driver I removed the two screws holding the lower element in place from inside the oven. Slowly pulled the element toward me. Met with some resistance because of the oven insullation. The end of the element has two sliding clips that you pull off. Remove the clips, remove the old element and replace with the new one then reverse the procedure.
