Heating element burned up
It was simple. Unscrewed to screws at the back of the oven. Slipped off the wire connectors then attached the wire connectors to the new part, put the screws back in and we were back in business.

glass door needed to be replaced
it took 2 people to do this job. we had to place a yard stick inside the door to keep it open because after we removed the 2 screws inside the door that held the handle on, the door would not stay open. after removing the handle we had to slide the glass down from the top and line it in the slots at the bottom and then we had to replace the handle back on top of the stove, lining up the slots and the side pieces. after that we screwed in the 2 screws and yea! we did it right. The glass is in and we managed to not break it!

The heating coil was no longer working.
My husband pulled the oven out and unscrewed the screws(in the back) the heating element came right out. He did everything on his own. The only thing he needed a little help with was for me to keep the heating coil flush to the back wall of the oven, while he screwed the new one in. It was a very quick job. The longest part was pulling the oven out to get behind it and sliding it back in.
