First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires fom the old element .. connected them to the new element ... put the screws back ...and tested. problem solved

Turn off power to the stove (unplug or turn off breaker)
Remove back panel screws (Phillips) and back panel
Unplug switch
Remove knob and attaching screws (Phillips)
Remove and replace switch
Reinstall screws for switch and plugs in the back
Snap off the end of the stem if it's too long and reinstall knob
Reinstall back panel and turn power back on

*important: the large element has an updated switch and you may need to snap off the end of the stem with pliers! It's too long and there are no instructions for this included!*

Loosen 2 screws and put new part in and tighten 2 screws. After putting in new sensor stove gave me another code had new part in 5 min and part select would not take my part back.

Just turn off power , remover screws. Remove and plug in new part.

First I turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. Then, I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches to disconnect the two wires. The connectors were tight, so required a little wiggling to disconnect the wires.

Upon receipt of the replacement element, I turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. Then, I reconnected the element wires, pushed the connect wires into the back of the oven, and rescrewed the unit in place. With the circuit breaker turned back on, I tested the oven. It worked great. Very easy!

Was able to use a philips screwdriver and remove 2 screws. I then clean the bottom of the oven. The installation was even easier. Took less than 5 minutes. Saved over $60.00 in labor cost

Removed the 2 screws that hold the element in place. Pulled the element forward about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Plugged the wire clips onto the new element and pushed the element back into place. Put the 2 screws back into place. This was a very easy repair.

I had to pull the stove out from the wall and discounted the power source from the wall. Than I used the a phillips screwdriver take out the heat element. There was now problem fixing the stove. Lowell Moxley

Turn off the oven circuit breaker. Remove 2 screws that hold the element in place. Carefully pull element out, about 3 inches and remove 2 attached wires by holding the element and pulling the wire clips off of the old element. Slide wire clips onto the new element and put the screws back in.

I read other other posts and followed their advice. Remove the 2 screws holding the element to the back of the oven...gently pull it out about 3" to reveal the connecting wires. I found the needle nose pliers were necessary to detach and reattach the wires. Don't yank! Be aware that the wires have a tendency to want to pull back into the back of the oven while they're loose. This was a wall oven and that woul've been a large problem if they they had. Otherwise it was a snap!

First, I turned the breaker off to the oven, that's the most important step.
Next, I turned on the oven to make sure the oven was not energized.
I then took out two phillips screws that were holding the baking element in place.
Next I pulled the element out slowly to expose the wires that connected to the element.
I removed the connecters, took out the damaged element, replaced it with the new element.
Last, I screwed the two phillips screws back in, and saved a $65.00 service call.

Piece a cake!
Turned off electrical breaker.
Removed original screws from old defective element and slipped in new replacement element.
Perfect fit!

Naturally the oven turned was off but for added safety I also set the breaker protecting the oven to the off position. Where the element attaches to the oven there is a small plate with two screws holding the element in position. Remove these two screws and then gently pull the element out 2-3 inches, which will expose the electrical connection. Using needle nose pliers gently pull on one of the wires to remove it from the element. Now remove the other and discard the old element. Simply plug the new element into those wires and screw the plate back into the oven. Now turn the breaker back on and you're done. Super easy!
