Heating element was bad, no heat
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 the wires to the new heating element, screwed it back in. That's it.
I was glad they had the part for such an old oven.

I needed new trim rings around the stove burners
I logged into GE's website, put in my stovetop's requirements for size and type of trim rings, and was taken to partselect's site where I found what I needed. I ordered it and it came in less than a week!

Original trim ring did not fit
I had an appliance guy replace a burner(Calrod unit)on my 47 year-old GE range, but he didn't tell me that the original trim ring wouldn't fit. I decided to look up on PartSelect to see if I could get one to fit the new burner, and I did! Fits perfectly......no tools needed.

original bottom heating element melted down into wall
Removed the element and put in a new one. Screw mounted interface to 230 mains involved removing two screws in oven wall and two connecting the main wires. Screws were provided with element. Effortless replacement saved an expensive house call and/or oven replacement. Oven is 44 years old and Parts Select had an original replacement part here in 4 days at new years. Part was only $18.45. Parts Select rocks!

Very low oven heat
Ordered new element (super-easy to select the right one at this site!). Turned off stove breakers. Removed two screws holding mounting hinge plate with nutdriver. Detached wires with regular screwdriver. Attached wires to new element lugs with screwdriver, using furnished new screws. Reinstalled element hinged mounting plate with screws and nutdriver. Only difficulty is 1) working bent over inside the oven because the wires are short, and 2) wire screws are regular, not Philips, with shallow slots so screwdriver slips out frequently.

bottom heating element burn out.
got new part delivered two days after ordering. I turned off breaker, used a 1/4" wrench to remove the fasteners holding the heating element to the back inside wall of the oven. used screw drivers (one Phillips and one flathead) to remove the screws holding the heating element to the wires. ensure you pull the wires slight out (easily) to ensure they don't pull back into the oven wall. unplug the element from the wires, install new element in reverse fashion and voila, done.

bake unit burnt out
It was easy and worth doing myself because a repairman said, he could do it for $50.00 dollars. I spent $28.00 which includes the shipping cost.

Lower heating element burned out
I replaced the element. The new part arrived within 48 hours of being ordered. It worked. The part that sticks out the back of the oven with the connections was a little shorter on the new element which made it more difficult to put the wires on but it was not too difficult.

Element had cracked - arcing to oven base.
My oven is so old that the model # tag has been scrubbed blank. I search your site by Brand name and oven description. I found the pictured element in your listing and sized it up. Part arrived as promised. It was simple to install - power down oven via circuit breaker and remove 4 ea screws and removed defective element. Install new element and reattach via screws. Turn on circuit breaker and power up oven to test - all working fine.

oven not heating
Delivery of the replacement element was quick.Two days after I ordered. My husband replaced it and said it was easy. He just had to unscrew the old element and disconnect the terminals on the back.I thought I was going to have to buy a new stove,just because my oven element wasn't working. Many thanks!
