Bake element not getting hot enough

Unplug oven unit from outlet or flip the breaker to disconnect the electricity. Used screwdriver to remove face cover, pulled wire connections from posts of old bake element. Attached wire connections to posts of the new bake element(they just slip on the posts). Aligned the face cover flush with the oven wall and replaced screws to hold cover on. Reconnect electricity and ready to bake. It is very simple.... We were very pleased with how quickly the element was delivered after ordering it.

Bake element burnt out.

I unscrewed the two screws holding the element in place and disconnected the two wires. Removed the element from the oven and replaced with the new one. Plugged in the two wires and replaced the two screws that secures the element to the back of the oven. Turned on the oven to test and turned back off when satisfied everything was O.K. Easy job.

Oven began heating irratically and got worse.

Funny, I suppose. We decided to buy a new stove given the old age of the old one. Problem is, on delivery day it wasn't delivered and we discovered that there wasn't even one in the warehouse. At that point we got ticked and decided to look into the problem. The website led us right to the problem. We ordered, the part arrived the next day and the replacement was simple. Just unscrew the holder inside the over, unplug the old element and plug in the new. I needed needle nose pliers because one of the wires slipped behind the insulation. We also bought a thermometer and found that the calabration was right on the money. Happy campers... we saved $400.

Bake element would not get hot

Found breaker box and shut off power to stove, Check to make sure you turned the right breaker off before you attempt to put you hands in it, also make sure all the switches on the stove are in the off position . Open Oven Door, I used a Phillip screw driver to remove the two screws holding the Bake element in place . pull out to reach wire connections and gently pull connectors from element. Remove the old Bake element and Install the New one,by reversing process in removing the old one. after you have it back in place turn breaker back on at breaker box turn oven control to Bake setting, turn Oven Temperature control to around 200 degrees and Element should began to glow bright orange, job complete, it's that easy!~

Both outside door handles turned very beige

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you
