3527XRA Magic Chef Range - Instructions

the new elements were super easy to replace. the old ones just pulled out and the new ones easily pushed in. the top one was a little more difficult only because it had brackets that had to be slid of and then slid onto the new one.

The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.

Removed old coil by unscrewing the element and unplugging it from the wires, adjusted the terminal slightly and plugged in the wire from the new element.

It was a very simple process and would have taken me less time if I wasn't so old and couldn't bend easily!

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 attached to the element, reattached to new element and replaced screws. This was very easy, I was glad I did not call the repairman.

I watched the video intructing the installation of the bake element. The one thing I would suggest is to remove the oven door as this allows someone with a shorter reach to do the repair.

Unplugged stove. Removed door. Unfastened 2 screws at rear of oven. Removed wires from bake element. Connected new bake element. Replaced screws and door. Plugged oven back in.

Turned off the breaker to the stove. Removed the screws holding the old parts in and unplugged the element. After reshaping the element because it got damaged in shipping I plugged the wires to the new element, replaced the screws and turned the breaker back on. Tried the stove and it has worked fine since.

Removed 2 screws, should have tripped breaker first but learned the hard way, unplug wires, install new.

Pretty simple, except the element melted very close to one end, so the screw holding the element to the rear of the stove was partly melted also. Had to drill it out & used a nut & bolt to secure the new element.
Apart from that, it was a breeze. As others have done, I re-tightened the lugs that the element plugged into.
Suggest a "test heating" before using stove: mine had a strong odor on first use, fine afterwards

Two screws out, the old bake element came out easily, was able to disconnect very easily from the clip wiring, then replaced with new. I even was able to replace the oven light bulb at the same time. A real cinch.

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, at that point I attempted to reconnect the two wires, that is when I found out why they tell you to unplug the electricity. It wasn't a big shock, more of a consistant shock. Once I unpluged the stove from the wall, it only took about 3 minutes or so to connect the wires and replace the two screws. I have no doubt I saved a hundred dollars doing this myself.
Thank you for your prompt delivery on the replacement part for my Bake Element at what I felt was a very reasonable price.

unscrewed the element and pulled it out, then put the new element in.

Remove the bottom rack from the oven. Pull the heating element straight back and out of the oven. Inserted the replacement burner in the opposite manner. Part was delivered in a timely manner.
