Was baking brownies and all the sudden the heating element started sparking, flaming, and looking like a welding rod.
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.
Then I reconnected the wires to the new element and screwed it in to the oven back. Simple and inexpensive fix.

Replacing the lower heating element
While trying to clean the oven, I decided to remove the lower heating element to make it easier. After removing the 2 screws on the bracket that holds the heating element in place, I pulled the heating element out only to short it out on the back of the oven and wreck the element. Luckly I was not injured or shocked, so if you need to do this, I recommend reading the owner's manual on how to property ground out the circuit first.
Anyways, to replace it, I just removed the lower panel on the back of the oven (roughly 10 screws). Installed the new element on the inside of the oven and screwed it into place. Then, connected the wires to the element from the back of the oven. Replaced the panel and turned the power back on.
In all, it took probably 15-20 minutes to fix and only cost me $37. I know that a minimum repair cost for this from Sears would have been $150, so definitely worth my time.

The bake element shorted out and burned up.
This repair took less than 5 minutes, literally! Two screws released the element, then unplugged it from two connectors. Then plugged in the new unit and screwed it into place. Cheap and easy!

Element cracked in three places.
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, connected the new wires, replaced the two screws and turned on the oven to test it. Easiest repair job I have ever done.

Bottom element burned out
Removed 2 phillips screws and pulled elements out 3 to 4 inches. One of the leads touched the housing and blew the circuit breaker, so don't forget to unplug or turn the breaker off! Simply slide clips off and install on new element. push back in place and reinstall 2 screws. Very simple.
P.S. element was delivered very fast!

Original heating element was fried.
First, I turned off the power to the house at the breaker box. Then I removed the broken heating element through the front oven door. I hoped this would work as it seemed from other reviews that some people pulled the oven out removed the back panel in order to access the element. I unscrewed the plate and then gently pulled the element out. I had a little trouble "unplugging" the element. When I tried pulling, it seemed they were stuck tight. Turns out you have to sort of jiggle the connectors and then they easily pull apart. Had I figured this out initially, the repair would have been under 15 minutes. Attaching the new element to the connectors, rethreading the wiring back into the holes, and then rescrewing on the back plate too the oven wall took just minutes. Easy peasy. So glad I spent $40 to fix rather then $500+ for a new oven!

Oven quit heating and display flashed F-3
I went online to learn what F-3 meant and it said temp sensor malfunction. I ordered the part - it looked the same so I repaced the old one and then the plugs were different. I cut the plug off the old sensor and cobbled together a connection. I powered up the stove and the burners were ok, but the oven appeared dead. about an hour later the alarm went off and it displayed F-1. I figured I needed to order another part, but hit Oven cancel and the display lighted up. I set the clock, heated to 400 and made a tray of cornbread. It seems to work ok, but I need to make a better arrangement. perhaps cut the new part connector off and splice the old connector. I don't like having electrical tape so close to the oven - it will probably melt with much usage. It is working - for now!

Bake element stopped working and caught on fire inside the oven compartment.
We unscrewed the old element by removing 2 screws and put the new element in place and put the 2 screws back in and it was done. Piece of cake!

Broken oven door hinges
Ordered a left & right hinge. Paid considerably more for the left hinge but both hinges were identical when received.
Bolt holes in both hinges were not tapped for the bolts which were sent with the hinges. This required a trip to the hardstore to get a tap set. After the bolt holds were tapped there was no problem removing the old hinges and installing the new ones.
