Plastic lid left on hot burner.
Turned off the breaker to the range. Turned on range to ensure no electricity was currently flowing to the range. Turned the range off and unscrewed the tilt lock hinge. Pulled the burner out to expose the wires. Popped the snap locks off the cover box and unscrewed the wires connected to the posts. Followed recommend directions to expose approx. 1/2" of new wire (this is what I used the knife for since I did not have a wire stripper available). Slightly cut thumb in the process (no blood, though). Removed old burner. Put new burner in place, re-attached wires to the posts and screwed in to place. Placed cover box back in place and secured using new snap locks. Attached tilt lock hinge using new screw that was provided. Turned breaker back on and turned on range. new burner worked great. Took about 20 minutes total. Wife was extremely impressed, mostly that I didn't electrocute myself. She now wants me to replace other three burners. No good deed goes unpunished.

Range purchased in 1989. Broiler Element Support Broke.
Removed 2 sheet metal screws. Threw away old part. Replaced with new part secured with the same old sheet metal screws. Works perfectly. Actually it took longer to type this response. I was very pleased with Part Select. If I need another part you'll be hearing from me.

Oven was not reaching the temperature selected
Followed the instructions included with the part. Shut power off to oven. Removed 2 screws holding a plate in front of element, removed 2 screws connecting wires to the element. Replaced the element, connected wires and plate. Job Complete. It took longer to clean the oven, with the element removed it was a good time to clean. I'm sure this saved me $100.00 Thank You!

baking element (bottom) burned out
I followed the instructions that I printed from your site, 1st I turned off the breaker to the oven, pulled out the backing racks, I removed 2 screws from the plate holding the element in back of oven, pulled out element which was secured by 2 wires, removed those 2 screws, took out burned out element, put in new element by securing the 2 screws back to the 2 wires, pushed this back up into the oven, secured the plate with the 2 screws that was removed in the beginning, turned the breaker back on, turned the oven on to be sure that it worked, replaced the backing racks. Job well done, quick and simple! Oh! I got chewed out by my son, for not waiting on him to do this.
