One section of heating element failed to heat.
Followed on-line instructions to remove the defective heating element. Some connection tabs on the replacement unit were different than the original. One tab was too wide to accept the stove's slip-on wire connector without fling down the tab width on the heating element. Thanks to some on-line instructions, wire connections to element 1a and 2a had to be reversed. If not for those instructions I would probably have ended up sending the unit back to the supplier, as an incorrect replacement !

bake element burned out
Replacing the bake element in the oven was easy once I figured out which tool to use. I initially thought I needed a hex key but saw from a previous commenter that a nut driver is needed. I was able to attach it to a power drill to unscrew the nuts. once the plate was released it was easy to unhinge and install the new element. Be sure to turn off the electricity as the stove is on a 220 line.

Overlay on the control panel damaged,error lights coming on
I used the socket wrench to remove control panel from back of range. I removed the inside circuit board form the holder and carefully removed the overlay from the thin touch panel. I was able to Matchup the overlay to the circuit board smoothly. Reassembly was a snap. Your site helped me pick out the correct part I needed. Being able to see exactly what I needed and how everything fit together saved me a large repair bill. Thank you so much!!!!!

bottom oven element burned out
repair was exceptionally easy. Did not need the fiberglass tape that was mentioned in online repair steps. Just slipped the wires off and then back on the new element. Any 70 year old can do.

Right - front dual element not working.
With no install instructions (NOT good for diy-ers), looked through reviews and watched video for help. Replacement part - not same as original. Had to use magnifying glass to id the terminals / take a picture before disassembly. reassembled - found out terminals are different & black wire is too short. Took off element - rotated the clips one number counter clockwise, reassembled - removed black wire from harness for extra reach. Hooked up, lowered top for test. power on - everything OK. Power off - complete assembly. Power on - test. Seems to be good. When I called customer service for assistance because there was no instruction, they told me I should contact a local appliance repair person. (big joke).

The bake element burned in half
Quite easy: Removed the two hex head screws with a 1/4 inch nut driver. Gently pulled the old element out of the rear of the range with the connectors still attached. Next I disconnected the connectors from the element and attached a small "paper binder" clip to each of the connector wires to keep the connectors from pulling back through the "Hole". Lastly, I connected the two connectors to the new element (released the clips) and gently pushed the unit back into place and re-secured the hex screws. ALL DONE! Very very easy....

Rusted leveling foot
I couldn't unscrew the leveling foot because it was rusted and corroded. The bracket holding it was easy to remove so I took the bracket with the corroded foot off and replaced it with the new foot and bracket. Very simple. I made sure I oiled it so it wouldn't rust again.

half the element was working
I am a DIY kind of wife. My husband works late most nights and I get home in the afternoon. It was really quit simple except for the element plug slipped into the back of the stove. So I had to pull the stove out from the wall and take a couple of screws out of the back and push the plug back through. It was scarry for a minute but it all ended up just fine and we had a wonderful dinner that night.
