TEF361ESD Tappan Range - Instructions

It was simple. I found the part online with install instructions. I was able to just remove the 2 screws which held the element in and disconnect the 2 connections. Made the 2 connections to the new element and put screws back. All went great and in less than 15 minutes.

Watched the video on parts select. Ordered the part. It arrived earlier than expected. Pulled stove out and cleaned under and all around then installed the element as the video instructed. Pluged the stove back in, pushed it back in place and it worked. This took approximately 30 min. Probably saved me $100 and many days.

Took out the old, put the new in. No brainer.

y-tube repair video. unplug stove. take out the heating element. replace w/ new one. plug stove in. WORKING!!!!

First off, I ordered the part on a Sunday afternoon and received it Tuesday morning with the regular shipping option, simply amazing! The repair was even simpler! - Unplugged the stove. Removed the racks. Unscrewed two screws and disconnected the two electrical ends of the baking element. Removed the old baking element, reattached new element to electrical and secured the screws. Put the racks back and plugged it back in. Total time maybe five minutes tops. Also, the "repair video" for this part was a great reference. Peace of cake!

After pulling the unit away from the wall & unplugging it, I removed the racks to give more room in the oven, I removed two Phillips head screws, pulled the element less than 2 inches to expose the electrical connectors, pulled them off the element ends, removed the baking element from the oven, installed the new element, plugged in the connectors to the element, pushed the ends in less than 2 inches, replaced the Phillips head screws, reinstalled the racks, plugged the unit in, slid the appliance back in place.

Ordered part on a Saturday, shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday, took old part off with screw driver and replaced with new one. Very simple it took 1/2 hour. We probably saved a couple hundred dollars or more by doing work ourselves.

Unscrewed the element, hooked up new wires and screw new element in. Less than ten minutes. The part was at my house in less than 3 days, didn't have to pay a service charge!!!!! I love this place.

disconnect the power from the stove pulled the racks out and took a nutdriver loosened up the screws for the element and disconnected the wires from it and replaced with new element real easy

I disconnected the power cord,took the top back plate off,the switch knob on the switch I was to change,the two screws holding it.pull the old switch out,place the new one in the holder,replaced the two screws that holds the switch and took the wires off the old switch one at a time and placed them on the new one in order on new switch.replaced the back cover and plugged power cord back in.turned range on,it was good. r taite,

unscrewed two screws, exposed wire connections. Disconnected two wires, then placed new element in oven and reconnected two wires, then pushed connectors back inside stove body. A acordless screwdriver made quick work of the two screws and the element works fine. Thank you for your quick delivery.

Watched the online video and followed the instructions. I unplugged the oven, used the nut driver to loosen the screws, removed the old element, hooked up the new element and voila... back in business. I received the part the next day after ordering it!

I watched you vedio and done just as the vedio told me how to change the switch. When I got the switch on pluged it in turned it on and every thing work great. thank you very much.

Turned off electric to range, removed old element, replaced it with the new one, then turned electric back on. Super easy.

This is a slide in oven fully contained not in a wall, or wood enclosure. I slid the unit out away from the wall unplugged the power cord, used the nut driver to remove a dozen screws, not all of them, you dont need to pull the top back plate off just unscrew the bottom 3-4 screws on the top plate to release the lower back cover plate and you see the probe wire and the insertion point/hole. I actually did not even need to pull the full back plate off but it makes the handling of all the tools and stripping easier. I wish they had just left the plug off of the new probe and had left the 2 loose ends of the 2 wires that had to be spliced, it would have saved 15 minutes just with that part. If you dont have a real splicer tool ya gotta be careful to not cut the wires themselves if you use a sharp knife. Just cut the new probe plug off and splice on the old plug from the bad sensor which obviously you have cut and strip as well as I did and then it fits nicely back together like it was ment to be. I put elect tape on the 2 splices, you could use small wire nuts or whatever you desire, but turn the exposed splices back away from each other and tape them to the insulated wire so no exposed wire is touching any metal then I wrapped the completed taped splices with about a 4x5 piece of aluminum foil to help deflect the residual heat coming from the oven when it is on. put the probe through the hole and placed the metal retainer back in place and re- mounted the back panel plate,cover, that was it problem solved. This entire problem was caused originally in this relatively new oven because people who have been using the oven were sitting heavy pots and pans on the oven door and the hinges were sprung. The door would not stay shut during cooking. I dont know how long this had been going on before I discovered the issue. Once I replaced the hinges ( parts select ) the uneven, wrong temp, extended cooking problem jumped up. I am certain it was related to the open door not shutting for several months. They were using a bungie cord to pull the door closed and not completely. At this point I feel very comfortable with using parts select for all my appliance parts and advice. The folks here at my facility think I am an Einstien but when you have parts select working with you in the background you can't go wrong. I asked a hundred questions and learned alot and saved the facility at least 400 dollars by doing it myself. Thanks to my new work buddy PARTS SELECT. I was really a bit apprehensive about the doors hinges they looked dangerous and might have been but the tech I spoke with at P.S. walked me through it on the phone and I read the blogs which are really helpfull SORRY THIS ONE IS SO LONG.
