Oven only heated at high temps
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Rebecca from DAWSON, MN
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
I first unplugged the stove as that was easier than going to turn off the breaker. I removed both oven racks for more room to work. There were two screws to removed inside the back of the oven. After pulling the element out a few inches I was able to unscrew the two screws that held the wires onto the element. I made sure to note whic h wire went on which side. Then did everything backwards with the replacement element.Plug the oven back in and make sure it works. This was the easiest repair I have ever had to make on any appliance! It's good to note the new element could heat much faster and hotter than the old one. I plan to check the temp when baking. The replacement one also hinged so cleaning in the future will be much easier as well.

I ordered the bake element on Monday and received it on Wednesday. Great delivery.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...
Then I installed the new element using the steps above in reverse. Very clean and simple. One tip t hough...open your oven door slightly to the detent and pull straight up. The door slips off easily and allows easy access to the bake element screws.

  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Wrench set
Tried contacting GE and no luck, they did not have vintage parts. After searching and locating Partselect, I was able to see a pic of the actual replacement part. I wasn't sure about purchasing online (1st timer) but decided to go for it!

I was able to track the package, although FedEX was setup to deliver to my resdient, I had the package addressed to my office but we worked that out also and walla.

I was very please and now I can bake my famous Pot Roast again. The oven was not working for 8 mos.

Good Eaten!

The bake element actually melted and broke into pieces

  • Victor from Waynesboro, PA
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers
It was realatively simple, turned off the power to the oven, removed the bake element , by loosening the two metal screws in the back of the oven, with a nut driver and removing the screws, then pulling the element outward, to expose the two wires ,that were connected to the element, using a nut driver to remove the two screws and a pai r of pliers to hold the wire connectors, then removed the old element. Installed the new bake element, by connecting the two wires to the element, with the two screws, then pushing the element back in place , attaching the element to the back of the oven, with the two metal screws, finished with the installation, turned power back to the oven , and tested to make sure the oven worked , all done.

Bake Element Broke due to age
1 of 2 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Kevin from Centerville, OH
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver
Repair was easy.
Note: the element leads have a potential across them,
so unplug the unit or you'll have an arc strike.

I liked the selection method at PartsSelect.com.
Finding the replacement part was easy from the pictures.
The prices were reasonable.

The part came next day, which was a surprise .
Removal and Installation was 4 screws.
I have become a DIY hero.

Only downside was going out for dinner every night ended.

oven element stopped working

  • David from Hampton, IA
  • Easy

  • Wrench (Adjustable)
It was so easy, we got on the General Electric web site and entered the old model number, found our match and ordered the part. It came 3 days later and it was so easy to remove the old one and install the new one, only two screws to remove. Saved a lot of money by doing it ourselves! Thank goodness for websites like this!!

The bake element 'fried itself'' -- making a horrible electrical noise and flaring up -- before dying.

  • Jeanne M. from Oreland, PA
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
First -- and thank goodness I read some of these stories first or I would have forgotten -- I turned off the circuit breaker to the stove.

I removed the two nut screws holding the element itself to the back of the over. Then I removed two more nut screws holding the element to the electrical wires. (This took some WD-40. The s tove is about 25 years old.)

That was about it. Everything lined up perfectly, and there was nothing more to do except reconnect the new element and throw the breaker back on. It works!

Lower Baking element stopped heating after a 1" section melted and burned at a bend.

I removed both screws to remove lower element, and measured it prior to ordering the replacement.
Then in a few days it arrived, and I installed it. The new element had small bolts rather than screws the original used to attach both wires. A flashlight was necessary in locating an keeping an eye on the wire ends, to keep them fr om being pulled inside the back cover, as the bolts were attached.
