Turned off the breaker. Unscrewed the two srews holding the element in the back of the oven. Pulled out old element. removed the clips from the old element, placed them on the new one. Pushed the element into place. replaced the screws. Turned on the breaker. Total time about 5-6 minutes. Wish all reapirs were this simple and easy.
Bake Element burned out after 24 years of lot's of use
The key was finding the right socket and using my 1/4 inch socet set and rachet. Remove your nuts, pull out disconnect wires, remove old element and put new one in place. One tip is turn on stove light to be able to see well while in oven.
I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.
To diagnose the problem I felt of the element a few moments after turning the oven on. It was cold. (rocket science, I know). I ordered the element replacement, which arrived less than 24 hours later. I turned off the power to the oven, unscrewed the old element and pulled. The wires are attached to the element in a way that reminds me of plugging in a USB port. Plugged, screwed back in, powered up and made some banana bread.
Just like all the others, remove the two philip's head screws, and pull the wires out far enough to remove connectors. Install connectors on new element, push the wires back into the holes, and screw the cover plates from the new element into the back wall of the oven.
