79094001400 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Quit after getting shocked. New part had different configuration. Hard to see marking for pull and plug from old switch to new switch. New switch had different configuration. After all that and making sure switch worked, got shocked as stove was pushed back to wall. Some other issues with wiring has a shorting out problem. Maybe time to call a pro or get rid of the stove and get the gas stove we have been longing for. Be sure to match points on pulling and plugging as the configuration may be different.

Just plugged it in! The hardest part was finding the model number. It was inside the top of the stove,while cleaning, I found it-on the left hand side when you take out the burner pans. I searched this site, found the part and when it arrived I just plugged it in and it worked fine. I would say less than 5 minutes to fix this issue.

pulled out the range and unplugged the range from the outlet! removed the oven racks. unscrewed the heating element and pulled out the wire connections a bit so i could grasp the connectors better and so they would not go back into the holes. getting the bad element off the connectors was the most difficult part of the process - this is what took the longest for me. I used pliers to grab the heating element connector and wiggle until it came loose from the connectors. once off, it was pretty simple to re-connect the replacement element and tuck everything back and screw the element back onto the oven wall. WA-LA!! back in the baking business - kids and mom are happy again! temp needs calibrating, but should be able to figure that out....thanks much!

Just unscrew the two screws that attach element to back of oven. Pull element toward door until you see push on terminals. Pull both terminals off.

purchased correct part from PartSelect and it fit like a glove!

A Phillips screwdriver and pliers were all the tools required. At first glance, the physical appearances of the OEM and the replacement were not identical. The slide-on electrical tabs were numbered on each in the same way. Sliding off the connectors and re=connecting them on the same number tab on the new switch was all there was to it.

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.
