This is for a basic four-burner electric stove:One element was bent so I replaced it and all of the drips bowls needed replacing.
The element pulls out easily and slides right back in and the drip bowls just lift in and out. TaDa !!

2 burner elements not heating
Simple: Snip old terminal block off. Strip wires. Connect new Terminal block using twist-on wire caps (provided in kit). Mount to stove top with existing screw. TIP: Make sure you insert the wire lead into the terminal block the right way (not upside down). Otherwise burner element will not insert into terminal block properly.
