Bottom heating element burned out/ broke.
  • Jessica from Macon, GA
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
First, we cut the power to the oven and removed the oven racks. I removed the two screws holding the old heating element in (removed easily, I didn't need any WD-40) and pulled the element wiring out of the back of the oven. It took me a while to realize how the wiring was/is connected to the element, but once I did they came off fairly easily with a little coaxing from some pliers. On our model, the wiring thingums fit down onto the element prongs. So, you pull the straight up to remove them. Very technical terms here. After the wires and the new element were connected, I screwed the new element in, turned the power back on and the oven was is excellent working order again.

Oven was not heating on bake setting
  • Rebekah from Azle, TX
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I unscrewed the old element from the back of the oven. Then I detached the wires and took the old heating element out. I then fit the wires into the new element and screwed it back in using the new screws. It was really easy! I was lucky to have my father in law show me how, since this was my first time to do it.

Heating element broke causing a flame up in oven
  • Wava from Louisville, KY
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
Loosened the two screws holding the element, pulled the element out of the back of the oven, loosed the two wire leads connected to the back of the element, removed the broken part, placed the new element into the oven, reconnected the wire leads, pushed them back into the insulation in the back of the oven, repositioned the element into its place and replaced the two screws holding it into place with the new screws that came with the new part. Oven element fired right up first try without any further complications. One of the easiest appliance fixes I have ever done!
