Oven not heating
First I turned off power to the range. I then removed the oven door for easier access to the rear of the oven. I removed baking pans and 2 oven racks. With a nut driver, I unscrewed the holding screws attached to the rear of oven heating element. Then pull the element forward exposing wire push-on connectors and slide connectors off the element. Reverse the entire procedure, set oven temperature to about 350 degrees to check element function and voila! bake some cookies.

the oven had stop heating at any temp above 200
the 1st thing to remember is to turn off the breaker for the stove then open the oven door and remove the racks and the heating element was there on the bottom undo the screw on each side where the element goes into the back wall of the oven and pull gently out and take your plyers and remove the wire hooked on each end becareful so that the wire does not fall back into the hole place your new element into the oven and plug the wire on the new element and slide it back into the holes and put back the screws and when done you can put the power breaker back on and try it this took less than 15 min.

burnt out bake element
I viewed the video you sent [ which will bring me back to you for all my appliance parts ] and could have done the repair in less than 15 min. but one of the leads on my oven was too short so I had to disconnect it from the terminal to connect it to the new element and feed it back through the oven wall and reconnect it to the terminal. I will recommend you with out hesitation. Thanks, Tom P.

on Indicator light on all time
Disconnect the range from wall outlet. remove 2 screws in the back of the cabinet,remove switch plug. connect back range to outlet to check if it is the switch. make sure the light isn't on. then I order the switch online at PartSelect.com and it arrived in 2 days. When I installed the piece, the problem had been solved. I hope this information will be helpful for others.

Top oven sensor
The oven did not auto clean. Problem was the sensor stopped working. Tried to repair from the front but could not get the connector through the hole. Removed the rear panel and found the connector had melted. Could not find a new wireing harnes on line, so I cut the wires on the stove and the new sensor coupling. Spliced the wires togather. The oven cooks fine, I have not tried the cleaning cycle yet.

Replaced Oven Heating Element
The oven heating element blew out on Thanksgiving... it went in style sending pieces of molten metal around the oven. After a thorough cleaning and removal of debris I obtained a replacement element. Replacement is easy. There are two screws that loosen the element. The connectors are a push-fit. The oven works great now.

Bake element burned through and broke
I removed the element by removing two screws. I discarded the old element and installed the new one using two screws - just as shown in the video. I ordered the part and received it in just a few days. The price was good. Very happy.

Long Oven Sensor failure - oven over heated & shut down
Parts package contained no instructions. Found all instructions on internet. I used Phillips head to remove two screws on anchor plate of Long Oven Sensor. Located at upper left, back corner of oven; access to screws is not simple/easy. Screws back out w/o difficulty. Pull/extract sensor harness through hole[back of oven] which required pushing aside insulation. The harness barely fits thru hole in oven back metal wall; I recommend using needle nose pliers ( which I ended up doing ) for ease of extraction. Disconnect harness plastic interlok clips. Perfect reconnection of new clip harness with ease. Reverse procedure to complete installation/repair. Done in just over 35 minutes due to wrestling with harness extraction through minimal hole opening. Failure occurred on Thanksgiving Day with 22lbs turkey in oven. Top of turkey contacted sensor tip which eventually caused sensor fault; result was scorched upper breast and oven shut down [safety by design]. Cook top was still operative; clock and all readings on digital control panel ceased. With new 'long oven sensor' installed - good as new. Will be sure to buy turkey(s) under 20lbs in future.
