3624 Magic Chef Range - Instructions

I ordered the part on Sunday night and it came on Wednesday. I watched the 'Partselect' video prior to doing the repair - the video got right to the repair and it gave me all the information (and confidence) I needed. It took me longer to clean the bottom of the oven than it did to make the actual repair. I can't imagine paying someone ... Read more to do such an easy job. My kids had a great time playing with the bubble wrap from the box!

#1...love the website where it helped us diagnose our problem. Also the video where it showed us exactly where and what to do. #2 we accessed the rear of range and unplugged. #3 Took back panel off of range to exposed wires and clips of heating bake element. #4- removed old element from the clips to find that one end was FRIED and FRAYE ...

Like something burned through the clip. 5- We cut and stripped the end of the hot wire, re-attached the new clip to repaired wire. 6 - plugged her back in...turn the oven on to see that the NEw coil heated up wonderfully. BEST part of the story yet....I placed the order via internet on Monday at 3:45 pm. I paid for the standard shipping of $7.95 or 3-7 day delivery. On Tuesday AM....the very next day, I was WOKEN up by my doorbell at 8:05 AM....by the time I got to the door to see who it was...the FED EX truck was pulling out of my driveway. THEREFORE I got overnight delivery without paying for it. AWESOME delivery, service, transaction....and great website and parts!! HIGHLY recommend to all!!!!

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!

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.

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

First I turned OFF the elect power to the stove.
Then I got a flash light to see into the oven. removed the two screws, anf pulled the element out far enough to disconnect the two wires.
Put the connecters on the new element pushed it back put the two screws back.
Turned the power on works great, very easy.

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.

very easy

Screwed in light bulb and glass protector

Replaced the element.

This was a snap. It took me longer to find the right part number than it did to make the repair. After securing power to the oven, I removed the racks. I then unscrewed the element supports and pulled the element out slightly to expose the connectors. Using a pliers I removed the connector from each side of the element. At this point, I s ... Read more hould have placed a piece of electrical tape to prevent the connector leads from slipping back into the body of the oven. Instead, I fished them out with a tweezer, and slid the connectors back onto each side of the element. I then screwed in the elements supports, replaced the oven racks, and restored the power. It literally took less than 10 minutes.

Super simple. My husband ordered the part. It arrived in 3 days. The old element plugs right into cables on both sides of the back of the oven and are secured to the rear wall with screws. I unscrewed the plates, detached the wires on each side and slid the new ones in place. It was that easy and took me about 10 minutes.

Removed old element (two screws) unclipped two wires. Clipped the two wires to the new element (one at each end), reinserted new element, replaced the two screws. Done. Oh, flipped the circuit breaker back on:-)

unscrewed the old baking element, took the yellow wire off, and put the yellow wire onto the new baking element and screwed it back onto the oven. Took less than 15 minutes.

1. Turned off electricity to oven.
2. Unscrewed old oven element. Found it had burned through
on the underside.
3. Inserted & screwed in new oven element.

35 year old oven good to go.
