The oven's bottom bake element burned up
First I turned the circuit breaker switch off for the stove unit. I then removed the two screws that hold the element in place at the back of the oven. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I attached the new element, bolting the wires into place and then screwed the element back into place on the back wall of the oven. I flipped the breaker switch back on, and turned on the oven. I was done in roughly 15 minutes. The most difficult part was having to shine a flash light into the oven to replace the part, and negotiating the hard cold kitchen floor.

Burner had shorted out
It was so easy. I turned off the power to the range, loosened the hinge screw and removed the burner unit from the stovetop. Next I removed the two spring clips holding the ceramic housing covering the three connectors. Then I loosened the three screws holding the 3 wire connectors to the burner, reconnected the 3 wires to the new burner unit, positioned the ceramic insulator housing and reinstalled the spring clips and finally replaced and tightened the hinge screw. It took about 5 or six minutes, max.
You can do this!

The oven element burned completely into.
I first removed the two screws holding the element in place. Then I pulled the element out about 2 or 3 inches and then took out the 2 small screws holding the 2 wires in place. I then removed the old element and discarded it and installed the new one in the reverse order that I took out the old one. It was quite easy to do, only took about 10 to 15 minutes total time.

6" element burnt out
Finding a replacement element for a 30 year old GE electric stove was difficult to find. I was overjoyed when I found a replacement on Partselect! It was a simple "Unscrew, reattach wires and install" all in about 10 - 15 minutes all with a nutdriver. Plug in elements are common but to find one with screw connections is not easy, THANK YOU PARTSELECT! A $48.00 investment (Element with trim ring) was worth the cost compared to a $1,400.00 replacement. You just made a loyal customer, again, Thank You.

elements were burned out
Removed the elements from the stove and disconnected the wires. Reconnected wires to the new elements and reinstalled in the stove. I was very impressed with the delivery time. I ordered online at 3:00 PM and the parts were at my door at 9:00 AM the next morning. Greatest service I ever had from anyone! I am 250 miles from the warehouse.

A plastic bowl was placed on the hot eye and melted.
The old eye was lifted up, hinge screw removed, and three screws removed from the eye that connected lines to it. Did just opposite for installation. Very easy. The hardest problem was finding an eye with three screw-type connections.

The burner only heated half of the coils
The repair went well and once again my stove that was installed back in 1968 is working perfectly. We will be buying another 6" burner and 2-8" so we have them when they begin to burn out. We looked everywhere for a replacement and was told they do not make them anymore, but we found it here. Thank you!

Replace Non-working stovetop burner unit (electric)
1.Shut off power to stove. 2. Lift up non-working burner. 3. Unscrew retaining screw that allows burner to tilt. 4. Lift burner out. 5. remove clips from ceramic holder. 6. Unscrew 3 screws holding element, write down which color is attached to which element, or label wires. 7. unpack new element, directions say to cut off and tip the leads with solder, but I re-used the old circle connectors. 8. Screw the wires back on the new element (using nutdriver) 9. place element in new ceramic holder provided, and clamp shut. 10. place element in stove top opening and screw in retaining screw (honestly I could not get this to work correctly, so I just left the element sitting in the hole). 11. Turn power back on. This could take as few as 5-10 minutes, but I allowed 1/2 hour for turning power on and off or moving the stove to unplug it.
