Oven wouldn't hold temp - over/under
2 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Andor from Oxford, OH
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
Unplugged the range, took old elements out, put new ones in. Couldn't have been easier and for the total cost of about $60; I have a working oven again. A LOT cheaper than a new $600 range!!

Replace door gasket
2 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • DORIS from SARASOTA, FL
  • Very Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
Gasket sent did not match the profile of the original. Only after trimming off two long edges of the gasket did it come close to matching the original. I would not recommend using this replacement gasket for this oven model. 1-Remove door. 2-Loosen the 2 oven box attachment nuts on the back of the oven. (loosen only, about 3/8") 3-slide the oven box toward the front of the oven. 4-remove old gasket, and insert new. 5-Retighten 2 oven box attachment nuts. 6-Reinstall door. Took especially long because of incorrect gasket. Deep well socket required to loosen oven box attachment nuts. Recommend two people to do, one in back, for attachment nut and one in front to keep gasket in place while tightning nuts.

Replacement of broken element
2 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Thomas from Boulder Creek, CA
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
Read and follow the instructions. Be careful when stripping old wires to attach to new element. Fit the element to ceramic casing prior to attaching wires. If new element does not seem level after replacement heat a large pot of water. The element will expand and the weight of the pan of water will settle the element. "Physics 101"

Oven Heating element broken
2 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • James from Hanover, MA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
Turned off power to the oven at the circuit breaker. Pulled the old heating element from the back lower wall of the oven. Noted the position of the wires (right terminal attached to the red wire, left to the black wire). Removed small bolts holding the element to the wires using pliers. Attached the new element using screw driver. New ele ment came with screws, not bolts. Pushed the element back into place and restored power. Tested to make sure everything worked. Everything works and I ran an oven cleaning cycle. Noticed that indicator light above the temperature selctor is always on now even when oven is in the OFF position. Not sure if that's related to the change or to the oven cleaning cycle I ran. In any case, oven seems to work normally.

Oven wouldn't heat
2 of 4 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Peter from Sacramento, CA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
First I shut off the circuit breaker for the oven then removed the screws that hold the element in place. The element was pulled out about 3 inches and unscrewed the 2 screws to disconnect the two wires. Upon receipt of the new element, I simply reversed the above process and the oven performed like new. Very easy, very quick and very grateful to have the oven operating again and it was a very inexpensive fix.

Something Had Dripped Down On The Baking Element Causing It To Over Heat In One Spot And Short Out.
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • JAMES from LEBANON, PA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
This was so easy to do. First I took the two screws out of the holding plate. Then the element comes out and I took the two screws attaching the wires to each end of the element out. To replace it just reverse the above and turn it on let it heat for about 10 mins to burn off any residue and you are ready to start baking again. A lthough not really necessary it is reccommended to unplug or turn of the breaker before you start working on the problem.

The heating element in the oven failed, after at least 16 years of good service.

  • Nancy from Golden, CO
  • Really Easy

  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers
First, we turned off power to the range. We removed the screws holding the element to the back wall of the oven and pulled out the element a few inches. We disconnected the 2 wires from the old element, and attached the new element with the 2 provided screws. We pushed the element back into the wall and secured it with the screws. Tur ned the power back on, turned the stove back on and, voila, the frozen pizza was well on its way to becoming dinner!
