Bottom element was burned out
I removed two screws, pulled it out a few inched and unpluged two wires. I then plugged the two wires into the new element slowly slid the wires and element back into place and put the two screws back in... and it worked perfectly. I did it all in less than five mins. And I am a 53 year old woman.No man was required.

When the oven was on we noticed the bake element had a 1 inch section that was bright red. Upon closer inspection, after the oven was off and the element cool, corrosion like damage was apparent where the element had been bright red.
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!

The bottom element of the oven stopped working, therefore, we could not bake anything.
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.

Element broke into several pieces
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

Bake Element quit working
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.

The original bake element cracked, causing sparks and a small, brief fire on the crack. Next, the element would not heat.
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!

Replacing the cracked oven knob.
Was waiting on my friend's boyfriend who is a contractor to switch this knob out but figured it out myself. It just slides on and off with no tools. I am so proud of myself for completing the repair all by myself on my 37 year old oven. My other knob just cracked and I was afraid the inside of the knob was damaged but it is not. Working like a charm now.

Bake element sparked & smoked, then wouldn't work.
Turned off circuit breaker for oven. Unscrewed the 2 screws that held the element in place on the back wall of the oven. Save those screws! Pulled the element out from the wall. Disconnected the 2 wires. Attached the wires for the new element and then screwed the new element into the back wall. Flipped the circuit back on and the oven was fixed.

The baking element had burned out
First, turn the breaker off to the oven, you don't want to electrocute yourself. There are two screws that hold the element to the back wall of the oven, undo those and pull the element towards you. There are two terminals at each end of the element, take these off, then reattach to the new element and screw back in to the back wall of the oven. This process takes maybe all of five minutes
