first, made sure circuit breaker was off second, used nut driver to remove 2 screws on old element, pulled it from the back of the oven third, removed 2 wires from old element (spade connectors) fourth, connected new element and pushed back into oven. fifth, reinstalled 2 screws securing new element
this was all done by my 15 yr old son under my supervision.
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches, but I had not turned off the power. So, I shorted out one of the wires. Then I turned off the power but was afraid to go any farther. An appliance repairman was at my house that day fixing my dryer seal. He was able to pull the wires through the insulation successfully and install the broiler element. He did not charge me any extra for this little extra job. But I learned my lesson. Cut the power before you begin! He told me that I could have wound up with a much bigger repair if the short had been in the wire that is connected to the control panel of the oven. I was very lucky!
Fan motor has to be removed from the rear. Since this is a (double) wall oven, the hardest part was sliding the oven out of the wall.
First, doors are removed, eight screws that hold the oven in place (along the side of the doorways) are removed. The rear panel inside the oven must be removed to expose the fan. Four screws hold that in place. Next, slide out the oven. The fan is covered by a tin shroud which is easily removed with a nut driver. The blade of the fan (inside the oven) is held on by a reverse threaded nut which must be removed. The fan motor is mounted with three screws and has two wires plugged into it. Piece of cake.
Reverse the procedure and you're done.
The best part was that I had originally called a service guy, who was going to 'defer me to GE for the repair' because the oven had to come out of the wall!! I think I'm going into the repair business!
