Oven was not heating on bake setting
  • Rebekah from Azle, TX
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I unscrewed the old element from the back of the oven. Then I detached the wires and took the old heating element out. I then fit the wires into the new element and screwed it back in using the new screws. It was really easy! I was lucky to have my father in law show me how, since this was my first time to do it.

Bottom heating element burned out/ broke.
  • Jessica from Macon, GA
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
First, we cut the power to the oven and removed the oven racks. I removed the two screws holding the old heating element in (removed easily, I didn't need any WD-40) and pulled the element wiring out of the back of the oven. It took me a while to realize how the wiring was/is connected to the element, but once I did they came off fairly easily with a little coaxing from some pliers. On our model, the wiring thingums fit down onto the element prongs. So, you pull the straight up to remove them. Very technical terms here. After the wires and the new element were connected, I screwed the new element in, turned the power back on and the oven was is excellent working order again.

dryer wouldn't start
  • sean from easthampton, MA
  • Easy
  • More than 2 hours
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
I found on youtube that there are directions to repair. Dryer problems are usually one of three things, the door switch being one of them. i checked this last (should have been first). ordered the part( about 65% off sear's cost) and it came in one day! It went on really easy as long as you knew from repair video how to access inside. al most spent $400.00 on a new one.

The broiler element made a loud noise.I immediately turned the overn off. It kinda acared me.
  • Ann from Schertz, TX
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
My son-in-law installed the new element. First turn off the electricity and remove oven door. Then unscrew all connections to the element.The back electrical wires come out from the top back oven. The bracket screw faces the oven and the electrical wires are so short there is very little room for a screw driver (get the shortest one you c an find..abt as big as your thumb if possible).Once that was out the element came out with no problems.Then it's just reversing the step. Again, that back electical bracket is difficult to get to for install. Also, the new screws in our kit were Philips, but the old ones were flat so check those out before turning off the oven light.
