Bake element developed a hot spot that burned through it.
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Paul from Slatington, PA
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver
Easily removed two screws, pulled the wires out of the oven wall, disconnected the old and reconnected the new, pushed it back into the insulation, inserted the screws and tightened them. There was a problem with the model number. It was on a vinyl plate inside the oven drawer wall. The plate was slightly yellowed so I used my fing er to wipe the yellow away. When I did, the model number ended up as a black smudge on my finger tip. GE's engineers could have come up with a better method of displaying the model number. GE's customer service operator, however, did an excellent job of helping me to ascertain, at least, some of the number.

  • Susan from Bend, OR
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
The very first thing we did was turned the circuit breaker off and unplugged the range.
My husband removed the back panel and unplugged the switch. Drew a diaghram of the color coded wires. When we received the new one he broke the extension bar off to fit the knob, plugged it in and we were back in business. It was very easy for m y husband as he is a mechanic (millwright). However, if you are mechanically inclined it is an easy fix.

Bake element burned out

  • Lavona from JACKSONVILLE, FL
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
Flip the circuit breaker going to oven off, then used a 1/4 inch socket on the mounting flange bolts and the bolt head screws attaching the wires. Then used a flat head screwdriver to reattach the wires with the supplied screws and bolted the new element in place. Back to the circuit breaker flipped the switch and turned the oven on to te st it, and now works fine. *be sure to remove the sticker before installation, use rubbing alcohol to remove any residue.*
