Open oven door about 3 inches - then holding on the door on either side - pull up and door slides off - put it aside - this is to make it easy for you to work inside oven compartment - at rear of oven where the element goes into the back wall - there are two nuts to remove - I did not have a nut drive so used a pliers (GE could have put s ... Read more lots in the nuts so one would just need a screwdriver) - pull element forward - there are wires attached to the 2 ends of the element - remove with screw driver - element is off - get new part from PartSelect -(and must say pleased with their service) - and reverse above procedure.

Turned off circuit. Unscrewed old element. Connected new element and screwed it in. Worked like a charm. It shipped very quickly. Could not be more satisfied; total repair: $30 and prevented me from buying a new oven; satisfaction: priceless.

My sons helped with that. They had to use a pliers to remove the old screws (did not have to notches). After that they they removed the element. Then the wires had to be disconnected (after we unplug the oven from the main power source. Then the wires were connected to the new heating unit. We only got one screw in so far will work o ...

Thank you to the nice young man that helped me on the phone.

1)Unscrewed the mounting nuts, 2) pulled the heating element out a couple of inches, 3) unscrewed the screws holding the wires in place, 4) removed and tossed the old heating element, 5) placed the new heating element in place, 6) re-screwed the wires to to the element, 7) pushed the heating element back into the wall of the oven, 8) rese ...

I'm not particularly skilled when it comes to things of this nature, but it was ridiculously easy...

All other reviews decribed the repare process that I used with no problems. The only reason I took about twenty minutes instead of around 15 minutes was it took me a few minutes to get the correct socket to remove the two small lag screws of the old bake element to free it from the oven wall. I did not have to remove the oven door as it w ... Read more as not a problem in reaching the back of the oven. My range is 25 years old.

.....then tested for voltage, had it. Ordered the element through partselect.com and it came in the mail THE NEXT DAY! No kidding! Installed it and the wife is back to her good cooking. All is well, thanks partselect.com. John R., Pompano Beach, Florida

Two screws to remove the element and two screws for the wire connectors and it was done.

removed the old, replace the new. The delivery of my new part was exceptional, received the very next day after ordering.

Actually you are right, I removed the two screw pulled the element out , disconnected the two wires holding the old element and put the new one on. I spent more time finding out whether or not it would be safe to work on it, being on my own for the first time and always had someone do it for me. I was told as long as the oven was not ... Read more on it was safe and so I went to work. I was also very impressed at the short time it took to get the part. Three days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First I turned off the power to the stove,removed oven racks,removed the two screws that held the element in place,pulled unit out a couple inches ,removed the two screws that held the wires in place ,removed element.
Placed new unit where old one went and placed wires in proper order and put together and placed back . turned power ... Read more back on and WALAA......nothing......apparently that wasnt the problem....Husband baught me a new stove,after 35 years why not.

Simple replacement. Price for replacement was excellent. Cheaper than any replacement I priced locally and arrived the day after I ordered.


Thanks!

Without taking off the door, which made it a little more difficult, all I had to do was unscrew two screws and disconnect the wires from the element and replace with new element and screw it back in.

Other than the screws were in there for 28 years that made one a bit hard to remove, the task was simple.
