KEC3M6NSAA Gibson Range - Instructions

Shut off the power at breaker to range,removed the screws and pulled out the element a few inches to disconnect the wires .Connected wires to new element., screwed it back into oven wall.It's a snap!

Try to buy new unit from local dealer, was told unit was too old. Went on line to Part Select and found part needed and ordered part. When part came, I removed two screws from in oven and four screws from back of range, discorrected two wire leads from bake unit, removed old unit and installed new unit, connected wires, reinstalled back cover, and installed bake unit to oven with two remaining screws. Job done, oven is now working. The part costs with shipping was around $33.00, new oven $600.00. Thanks Part Select.

replaced old drip bowls with new ones

Turned off power to oven at breaker box.
Removed one screw that holds the element in place. The other screw would not unscrew, I went to hardware store for drill bit and special hand tool (which cost less than $15) to remove stuck screw. I didn't have the right size screw, so I went back to hardware store for two new screws. Pulled the element out and disconnected the two wires(they are plug-in). Lost one wire into the back of oven because I did not hod it for the new element to plug onto. I removed the back of oven by unscrewing several screws and located the wayward wire. I threaded it back into the hole (easy) and someone grabbed it and held onto it while I screwed the back of the oven back on. Then I placed the wire connectors onto the new element being sure to squeeze hard with pliers so there would not be any slipping off of the wires. The power was restored and the element worked great. A less than 30 minute job took over 2 hours because of inot thaving he right tools.

Unscrewed back of oven the plate that was holding on old element, removed it (plugged into small wire device)
Plugged in new one and replaced screws to hold in place.

replaced it

1. First I pulled out the heating element from stovetop and removed old pan (no screws) very simple. 2. Put new pan in and inserted the heating element back in place.

Removed the 2 element holding screws, disconnected the element leads & remover element. Replaced with new element.
All in all a real easy job (wish all repairs went this easy)
PartSelect had the element at the house within a couple days (Correct part I might add) which made the wife happy !!

The element pulls out easily and slides right back in and the drip bowls just lift in and out. TaDa !!

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 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.

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.

Took the back panel off. Removed the 2 screws from the old element,removed it. Put the new one in and replaced the screws. Put the back panel on done. What took the longest was cleaning behind there !!

unplug old baking element using socket tool and put in new baking element - very simple and it works!

I just had to plug the new burner plate in the receptical
and it works again very well.
