over-used, well beyond useful life bake element began to disintegrate/crack/melt.
Probably a good idea to either unplug unit or make sure oven is in off position first, then remove screw on either side of old bake element, then gently pull out about 3 inches to expose wire connections and carefully disconnect each slide-on connector. Dispose old element in trash and replace with new one from partselect.com in reverse order. Very simple and much less expensive than either buying a new appliance(if you've been satisfied with what you have), paying a repairperson to come in and/or trying to hunt down the right part from a "local" appliance store/warehouse. The part was easily identifiable via the graphic depiction on the partselect.com website, arrived in excellent condition and in record time for normal ground shipping(less than 2 days from order date!), and I experienced kind and competent customer service from the get-go. A do-it-yourselfer like me really can't ask much more than that when it comes to appliance repair!

Heating element stopped getting hot or even warm for that matter
I pulled the range out of its space, disconnected the power cord, disconnected the two electic power wire on the heating element. Then I disconnected the two retaining nuts on the inside of the oven and pulled the heating element out. Then reversed the order and wala, hot oven and now my corn bread does not burn.

Heating element blew out
Only two screws to remove, so it was very easy to just pull the element out, remove the wire connectors from the old element and place on the new one. This is one repair you should NEVER call a service person for! Be brave--anyone can do this.

Lower heating element was out.
Open the oven door and removed a metal screw from each side of the element on the rear wall of the oven. Pull each side of the element out about 2-3 inches and you should see the terminal fitting with a spade type connector. Remove the connector from each side and discard the old element. Place the connectors on your new element and push it through the openings that the old element came out of. Replace each of the metal screws and you are done.

Two burners did not heat
Pretty easy installation; you lift the top plate up and snip the wires maybe four inches away from the burner. Leave more wire than you think you need; once you get into it you'll realize you need more wire length than you think.

Then strip the remaining ends, twist them together with the provided caps, and use the heat shrink to hold it together. Remove the old terminal, replace it with the new ones, and you're good to go!

Remember to check that the wires are tight in the cap before heat shrinking, though. I had to get more shrink wrap in order to finish.

Baking element burnt out and broke in my hand.
First I cut the breaker to the oven. Then pulled racks out of oven. Then used my nut driver to take the two screws of the back mounts. I then pulled the broken part out and installed the new one. I was not sure at all about doing this until I read some of your other testemonies, but after that, I became an oven repairman. The very next day after instalation, my wife cooked me a ham and a pan of cornbread! Thanks for the fast service, y'all got me back to eating my wifes homemade dinners within three days of ordering my part. There is no way to thank you for that, but here is a very large THANK YOU! I will definitely be back(hopefully not soon!) when I need other appliance parts.
