PF alarm appeared on display. Noticed clicking when cord was moved. Had arced for some time and melted original block. New part slightly different. Only has 3 lugs, old one had six. Stack using washers provided. Take note of colors before disassembly. Use caution while working through access opening. The edges are sharp. Only tools needed are phillips screwdriver, deep socket for lug nuts. Nut driver optional. Hope this is helpful.

Replaced element. Removed shelves, removed two screws and lifted/wiggles old element out to pull wires off at connectors. Reversed process installing new element and truned on to test/burn off "newness" Done!

Pulled out the stove, removed the screws that held on the back panel, took out the 2 screws that held in the element and disconnected the wires and put the new one in. I put the screw back in and was finished!

I removed the back panel, about 6 screws, then found the probe which was attached by 2 screws. Unscrewed them and unplugged it. Plugged the new one in and replaced all the screws. The oven works like a charm now! No more F3 errors!

It was great. We ordered the part, it was shipped the next day and I had it the day after that. It was easy to install and the stove has worked perfect since. Color us happy!

Removed screws. Unplugged temp sensor. Put screws back in. So easy a caveman could do it.

turned off power, removed 2 screws replaced heater coil tightened screws.

turned off main power; took a flash light, unscrewed existing element and disconnected it from the wiring; compared existing with new elements as the shipping label said "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAY BE RETURNED IF IT APPEARS THAT IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED"; it appeared to be close enough but not exact. Connected wiring to new element, shoved it back into the insultation, screwed in the element with the same screws. Viola' all worked as it should. I even set my oven on the "self clean" cycle which is 3 hours on high. Overall it was very easy.

I looked up the error code on line and found it was likely a faulty oven temp sensor. I was able to find the part and diagram at partselect.com and placed an order. The probe was in stock and arrived within a couple days. The repair took only about 20 minutes and works fine now. Thanks for your help partselect.com!

first, I watched the video that partselect provides, then followed the instuctions that I learned from the video, I turned off the power to the appliance, removed the oven racks, removed the screws from the plate that held the oven rack in place and gently pulled it out far enough to remove the ends of the element from the electrical current wires, finished removing the burnt out element and replaced it with the new one from Partselect by repacing the new element ends on the electrical current wires and screwed it into place and replaced the racks, turned on the power and baked my pie. I am a 71 year old widow who was able to accomplish this with the good instructions provided by Partselect, this was the first time I have ever tried to do anything like this on my own.

It was really easy just unplugged it took off the back cover changed the part out put back cover on plugged it in and the elements were working great!

First removed the two screws that hold the element in place.I then pulled the element out about three inches and disconnected the two wires. The new element was put in place and reconnected to the two wires.The two screws to hold the element in place wre put back in.Very easy.

Removed the wires that I could, then terminal block. Installing the new terminal block was very easy; however the wires that arced were fused to the terminal bock screws and needed to be cut and new connectors had to be put on the wires to allow them to be reattached to the block safely.
Once all was replaced and reinstalled the oven has worked great. The length of the repair was increased because of the melted parts and having to run to the store to get the new wire connectors big enough to fit on the wires. If we were simply replacing the block and had not encountered the melted ends, it would have been a very quick and easy repair.

1. Switched the oven power off.
2. Tried unscrewing the two screws in the rear of the oven but they were
too tight. Used a power screw driver to unscrew the bottom element. 3. Pulled element out and disconnected the two wires.
4. Attached the two wires to the new bake element and fastened it
with the two screws.
5. Switched the oven power on.
6. Tested the oven with good results!

Take out 2 Phillips head screws.
Pull the element out, not disturbing the insulation any more than necessary.
Remove the 2 wires from the old element.
Discard old element.
Attach the 2 wires to the New element.
Feed the wires back through the insulation.
Replace the 2 Phillips head screws.
Turn on oven to test.
Done.
