I watched the video provided by Part Select before I ordered the part. I removed the old element by taking out two screws and unplugging it from the wires. I put the new element in place, connected the wire to the right side and then opened up the back of the range to connect the left side. The repair was easy, but the video did not show that you had to connect the left side from the rear of the appliance. It was easy to figure out. The appliance works like a charm...no like an oven.

A little background story: One day after cooking up some chicken I noticed a bright blue light coming from the bake element. I turned off the oven, but the blue light remained and was getting brighter. Come to find out the bake element had more or less welded itself in half and what I saw was electricity arcing between the two halves of the baking element. I had to unplug the range to stop the arc. Luckily fixing it was as easy as unscrewing the old one (held in with one philips screw on each side), popping the connected wires off (they just slide on and off of connecting tabs), and doing the reverse for installation. Super easy job.

Power off by unplugging appliance!
Remove the old element by removing one screw from each of the old element anchoring tabs.
Pull element away from back of oven approx. 3 inches to expose spade lug electrical connectors.
With the pliers, gently seperate the spade connector from the element connecting tab.
Remove old element.
Install new element in reverse order.
Plug appliance in, set oven to warm/low heat to test and burn off any metal preserveative from elemnt surface.
Check operation by allowing to heat for < 30 seconds. Oven element should start to warm and can be confirmed by breifly placing hand a few inches away from element to detect heat.
Turn oven off if satisfactory. Reset time on oven clock. Finis!!!!

I figured there couldn't be much else but the element that was bad, so I searched for "Magic Chef stove parts" on Google and found your site. Your site described the location for the model number of my stove, and also gave troubleshooting tips. I verified the element was bad with an ohmmeter and ordered the part from you guys. It arrived early, and installed with 2 screws and 2 push-on terminals. Stove works great now! I'm a web programmer and I think your website is very intuitive and useful. The information like model numbers, troubleshooting, parts measurements and extensive parts pictures is perfect for your customers. I found the correct diagnosis and part quickly, and ordered without a problem. Thanks - and keep up the good work! Mike

Turn power off, lifted door of swing hinge, remove convection fan plate screws, remove screws on element bracket, remove from recess far enough to unplug connectors, reverse order to assemble.

I am really impressed with partselect.com. I ordered the part on a Saturday evening after my oven quit. By Monday evening I had an email showing it shipped and received it on Wednesday. The fit was perfect and the fix was quick.

First I removed the two screws at the back of the oven that hold the element in place (a flashlight is useful for this). I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the wire connectors. Connect up the new element and replace the two screws. Dead simple and quick to do and saved us buying a new stove!!!

unscrewed covers . unpluged heating element , pluged in new one , put covers back on. oh yeah unplug stove first.

Very easy, clip on connections and two screws to hold it in place.

Called Sears, repairman couldn't come for a week and would cost $129 for visit not including parts. Went to Sears repair store, part cost more than the part I had already found online and would take a week to arrive. Ordered the part online, paid for next day delivery, watched a video on how to replace. Had my oven back in two days and $59!!!

I am a 62 year old woman. All I had to do was unscrew the retaining screws on the back of the oven wall, pull the element out and unplug it. When the new one came, I did it in reverse. It took about five minutes. Ps: I did turn the breaker off first....

After removing the old broken element, I searched the internet for the part by brand and model number. With very little trouble, I located the correct part, ordered it and waited for the notice of shipment. In 5 days, and that included Memorial weekend we had the part and in 5 minutes the part was installed. The cost was $31.20 plus shipping..not bad!
