Broiler element burned out
After doing a YouTube search. I successfully completed the repair by easily diagnosing the issue with the element. I watched a video about 5 most common problems with whirlpool broiler elements. The first being to inspect the element for damage. I found a small section that appeared to be rough and had a raised bump. I decided to order a new element because the oven is older and it wouldn’t hurt to install a new one even if this wasn’t the issue. Once the part arrived, which it did quickly, I followed the video instructions. It was easy and straight forward. I completed the task in under thirty minutes. It was very simple and I now have a functional broiler element.
This was a very smooth repair. In total it took about 5 minutes. The pot drawer below the oven wasn't gliding like it once did. After I replaced the glides it works like new. Please note, if you are going to replace one side go the next step and replace both to provide balance to the drawer.
Unplug stove. Remove the two screws attaching the element to the rear of the oven. Carefully pull out. Disconnect wires. Reconnect wires. Screw back in. Done. The hardest part was moving the stove away from the wall.
Unplugged appliance, removed the 2 screws that mount element. Unhooked the electric wires,with pliers. Connected, the wires to new element replaced the 2 screws. And was done in about 9 minutes.
Unplug the stove from outlet so no power going to appliance. Had to use wd on screws to help loosen Little bit of effort to loosen. Took new element from package. Replaced screws just tight donot over tighten. Plug stove into outlet turned on. Did a automatic clean. Oven clean and baked cake later I am back in business and 63 years. Was quote 240.00 to from a local repair person. When using wd make sure you wipe any drip from before turning on oven.
Very simple. Remove 2 mount screws using a #2 phillips screwdriver. Pull the element out to expose the 2 wires. Using pliers, slip both wire terminals off the existing element. Push wires onto the new element and install both mounting screws.. Done!
NOTE: The existing element showed no exterior signs of being bad. The damage must have been internal.
