No Power to the Oven
Watching the video showed an easy, unscrew and screw back on process while connecting the wires back. It was really that simple. Once it was complete (not even 10mins), plugged it back in, and its been working great since.

the element got too hot and burned a bad spot in the element.
First I removed the 2 screws on each side of the element and then pulled the element out, disconnected the 2 wires that were holding the element, got the new element and connected it to the wires, slid back into position, put the screws back in that hold the element and put the racks back in and turned on for test. It was so easy I had it done before my husband arrived home from work.

The oven heat element experienced a sudden "flaming meltdown"
The meltdown was a spectacular event. After clearing the kitchen of smoke and allowing the oven to cool down. I easily removed the remnents of the old element by removing the screws holding each side in place and disconnected the two wires. I then insulated the hot side wire (red) to prevent the possibility of a short when resetting the breaker in order to use the stove top. The next day I found PartSelect.com and ordered the very reasonably priced new part with optional overnight shipping. it arrived at 1:00 pm the following day. Installation was a simple reverse of the removal. The oven works great and I now keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen.

Replaced bake element which had burned out
Removed sheet metal plate from back of oven. Disconnected two lead from existing bake element. Removed existing bake element, replaced with new one. Connected wires, replaced sheet metal.

The trick with this old oven is to access the wires from the back.

bake part of oven would not heat, element fried in many areas
(e.g. 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...) I did have a problem with the wire connectors. they were a little over heated and loose, so I used pliers to ajust the connection.

Burned out oven bake element (bottom element).
***Make sure power is off the stove*** then remove oven racks.
Used 1/4 inch socket to remove 2 screws holding in the heating element, then pulled the element out a couple of inches to get at the wiring. Used pliers to unplug 2 spade clips.
Reversed procedure to install new element.

Bake element would not heat.
Removed two screws that hold the element in place. Pulled it out a few inches-removed the wires
& re-connected to the new unit. Screwed it back in place & i was done. It took about 10 minutes. The new unit works fine. Saved a bunch of money by not calling a repair man. Thank you very much.
