Stove element replacement

Removing the back, moving wires to the side and disconnecting the 220V was easy. Installing was easy but the replacement part connectors are lower than the original requiring a tin snip to cut the cover plate and bend it away to allow replacement of the cover to the heating element.

Saved having to buy a new oven!

Had to watch a YouTube video first, a definite requirement, but was fairly easy to replace after getting the key points from the video. Took about 30 minutes. Toughest part was attaching the screws for the element plate back on the oven back. The whole enclosure drops, so you need to lift up the surrounding cage for the element up (which is light weight) so the screw holes on the element line up with the holes on the oven back (which is hard to see). Wear gloves since you have to hold the fiberglass insulation back while doing this.

Right part

It was pretty simple to install following the video but did take some time to get to the area where it needed to go for a first time repair. Part fit exactly and now the oven works wonderfully again. Thanks

Lower Oven element replacement

I have never installed an element before to make a oven work. Went online, I found a few different video's and models, none on this model.. And every parts or repair shop said:We do not work on that model, to hard! I was just looking for help to find the parts I needed. Well I finally found a Sears Parts Direct online ordering . Order one up. Waited a few days and one showed up. OF coarse the box was broke and opened and in rough shape. So i did an ohm test on it before putting it in. FINE/ok. Pried off backing plate where I could see the old one and pulled that one out! (old one was done cooked) (cracked in half). Put on cloth gloves ,so i didn't touch NEW element. Slid in, NEW element, screwed on backing plate, made sure Nothing was touching anything, hooked up wires as they came off and pluged stove in. Lights came on for everything, zeroed them out. Then went to oven controls, and started oven out @ BAKE 350.// AND (WELL-LA) IT WORKED! Then got out my bananas bread recipe and made some bread. Well it is working better then it has for a long time. Thank you for still having a >part outlet store< for me and others to have ( great parts again) . R E K
