Oven working fine now.

The burner would work but you could not regulate the heat. I ordered and replaced the control switch for that burner.

Turned the range/oven off at the breaker box. Pulled all the racks out. Unscrewed two screws holding lower heating element in. Pulled the heating element out to expose connections. Unhooked connections, plugged in new element. Replaced the screws. Turned breaker back one. Pretty simple!

The repair was/is very simple made complex and too much time because of a wrong part and incorrect wiring instructions.

Thanks for that.

Basically removed the screws holding the op on and removed the vent from back. Just "figured it out" and now it works. Wish I could be more helpful. Recommend moderate experience and confidence.
