Oven heat would not reach thermostat setting.
Turned off breaker to oven at breaker box. Removed the 2 screws. Gently pulled the heating element out enough to remove the 2 wires. Connected the 2 wires to the new element. Pushed connecdted ends back into hole and replaced and tightened 2 screws. Turned breaker back on, tested oven, and it worked.

Element brunt into
make sure to throw breaker and power is off of range, the elements still have power on them when range is off. Took door off, pulled racks out, pulled the two screws holding the element in place. Pull elements straight out and unplug the wires connecting to thr element and reverse the prosses.

Bake element burned out.
After I removed the 2 screws holding the element to the rear wall, I was afraid to pull too hard on the wiring for fear of breaking something. However as I pulled on the connectors, I could see there was some wire that I could pull out through the insulation (maybe 1"). I put a clamp on each wire for fear it might slip back inside. I then disconnected the clips and reconnected to the replacement element, pushed the wiring & clips back, and replaced the 2 screws. I am a DIY guy, but 76 years old, and convinced anyone could do this.

Oven was taking much longer than normal to cook foods. Found the bake element was broken (literally broken through in a spot).
Loosen the screws to the bake element. Carefully pull out old element until wires are exposed. Pop off the clips from wires to heating element (leaving clips on the wires). Attach clips to new heating element. Screw back into place. Piece of cake!

Element actually burn through and had a hole in it!
Really simple. shut off breakers. checked the breakers were off. then checked again (this is 220V power to the element).
Undid the 2 nuts holding the old element in place. Pulled out the element into the oven space an inch or two.
Used pliers to pull the contacts out from the old element (not by the wires folks). reversed the process and I was done!

Erratic oven temp
RE: 2 yr. old GE double wall oven with convection option in upper oven, non-convection in lower oven: baked goods were not browning, were undercooked or burned. Tested both ovens on regular bake setting using 2 oven thermometers. Set ovens for 350. Although after 10 min both ovens beeped "ready", the oven thermometers actually read 200 - then would swing up as high as 500 and as low as 200 during the 20 min test period. Decided to first replace top oven sensor only, just in case it really was a more expensive control panel problem. It was a bit awkward to reach back there with the oven door in the way, but I have long arms! Aimed my flashlight, removed nuts with a socket wrench, pulled out the sensor, popped the clip and the old sensor easily separated from its connection. Snapped on the new sensor, pushed it back in and reset the nuts. Easy. Set the oven for 350 and tested again with 2 oven thermometers for 45 min. Voila! The oven thermometers read exactly 350 when the oven beeped "ready" and it stayed at 350 throughout the entire 45 min retest period with only a 3 degree variation both up and down. What a great improvement! Immediately went online to Parts Select and ordered another sensor for the bottom oven which was having the same problem. Fixed both ovens all for under $30 - and just in time for Christmas cookies! Don't want to know what the repair guy would have charged.......Merry Christmas!

Timer, light and control pad worked. Turn table and heat did not work. Oven would not start up.
I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

Replaced cracked inner oven door glass
This went pretty smoothly. Watch the video and just follow along step-by-step and it goes well. It would have only taken about 30-45 minutes (even being careful and slow) but I ended up placing the glass twice (be very careful and triple check that all the insulation gets poked under the housing and none is sticking out). The first time I had a small piece sticking out. (Use gloves for this part so your hands don't itch). The second time I needed to redo part of it is I forgot one of the spacers on the door handle and had to get that in there so the handle worked properly. I also took the time to clean the oven while the door was off so that took some time. Total I probably had 1.5-2 hours into this project but at least half of that was me cleaning and being fussy. This is an easy repair. I'm not a confident repair person and this wasn't difficult. It was a little time consuming but well worth the cost vs calling a repair person or buying a new appliance. You do need to have a specialty star head on a screwdriver but my simple tool kit had all the tools I needed. The oven has been working great since the repair.
