Electrical connection pulled off the element
When I pulled the element out of the back panel of the oven to remove it, the electrical connection got caught on the edge of the hole in the panel and disappeared back into the oven insulation. It was difficult to find and pull it back out to reinstall it on the new element.
When I found the part I needed there was an instructional video on how to remove broken bake element and install new bake element. This was the best video short and sweet and anyone...I mean ANYONE could do it!
Step 1- cut off the power supply (I flipped by breaker, but you could just unplug the oven) Step 2- remove bakin
... Read moreg racks Step 3- unscrew the little metal plates inside the oven where the bake element meets the back of the oven (reserve screws for new element) Step 4- carefully pull the bake element out until you have the wires through the holes Step 5- carefully pull the bake element from the wire clips on both sides Step 6- take broken element out of over and put new one in Step 7- slide new bake element ends onto wire clips Step 8- slide new bake element and connected wires back though back of oven Step 9- used saved screws to screw metal plates on bake element to the back of the oven Step 10- replace oven racks Step 11- restore power to range Step 12- enjoy a working oven and feel like an absolute PRO for fixing it yourself!!!!

Bake element went out
The broil element and range were both working so I removed the bake element to test for continuity. Use a 1/4” socket or wrench to remove the two screws holding the bake element to the rear wall of the inside of the oven.

If you don’t see any, test the element with an ohmmeter or multimeter. If it reads anything other than 0 ohms (continuity), your element is defective. Installation process is reverse of removal.

I think it would be good to tell people to make sure the power is off
Hi William, thank you for contacting us. Yes, it is always best that before doing any repair you make sure your appliance is not connected to power so that you do not harm yourself or break something else on the appliance. Have a great day.

If my bottom heating element is broken can it cause the top part of the stove to not hear correctly
For model number TEF361GSB
Hello Dustin, thank you for your question. No, any oven issues shouldn't cause the top burners to be affected. The top burners are controlled by burner switches behind the temperature knobs and the oven control board and oven sensor control the oven elements and heating. I hope this helps.
