21433 (1988) Kenmore Wall Oven - Instructions

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires.
Went online and Googled for oven element by providing the serial and model number. Partselect popped up. I submitted the order and received and installed the new element within 5 days from start to finish. I recommend this website for replacement parts.

Very simple, unscrew the old element. Remove the electrical spade connectors and reverse to install new element. The folks at parts select.com were very helpful and even after I ordered the wrong part, the return process was hassle free. Prompt shipping, very happy.

Determining the correct bake element to order was the most difficult part. Once I received the part, it took me 2 minutes to unscrew the back panel, detach the wires, connect the new wires and re-connect the back pannel - turned the oven on to test - and we were all set just in time for Chistmas baking.

I took out the old part and we went on line and found everything from your PartSelect and ordered it. The part worked great and we received the part in two days. Thanks so much, you saved us lots of money and the oven works wonderful. I have told many people about your company and how much we like the help from you. Paul from Quincy, IL

Turned off power, first then removed two screws
from bracket holding element. Then removed two
screws from element mounting bracket. I then
disconnected two wires using piers, and one with
a screwdriver. then put the newone in, in reverse.

Pulled the old one out and installed the new one

I shopped around locally before shopping online. Parts Select provided me with significant time and money savings.

Turn off power. Remove the element. Installed the new element. Turned on the power. Easy... Easy... Easy...

Very easy since it was an exact match to the old burned out element.

Once oven was removed from wall not to bad

Repair not going well. Can't get the old part out. Have used needle nose plier and still can't get ahold of whats left of the part to pull out. Not for sure what to do next.

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.

turned off power unscrewed plate that held in element unplugged socket from old element plugged in new one screwed plate back turned on power works fine

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 can 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.

Turned off the circuit breaker. Removed the oven door from hinges. unscrewed the old element connection plate. Pulled off two wire leads. Reversed forward steps to completion.

Removed the oven door, removed old burned element, installed new element. Turned CB back on and tested oven. Reinstalled oven door. Straight forward and easy to follow directions with new element.Local appliance part house said the element was no longer available. Thanks to you I did not need a new oven. Very easy replacement job with normal tools.Thanks
