Ordered new element from PartSelect. It arrived shortly. It did not match the original. Guy at appliance store explained how I could connect the wires on the new one. It still did not fix the problem. A repair man tried for 2.5 hours to fix it with no success. Now I will return the replacement element in the return envelope provided

Remove top by opening oven and taking out two screws in the front. Lift up top and unplug wire connectors on bad element, writing down where they are landed.

My 6” element goes straight to high and stays there no matter where I set the knob. How can we correct that?
For model number MES8880DS0
Hi Anne, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the Right Rear Burner Switch, part number PS11769788. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
My glass range top does not come off like I’m the video. Is there something that I’m missing? It will not slide towards me and up. It seems to be attached with a hinge.
For model number GFE461LVQ0
Hello Sara, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, you need to unscrew the screws at the bottom of the range top which you can access by opening the oven door. After that, you need to unscrew the hinge from the range top. The hinge is located at the back of the range top. We hope this information helps!
