Dropped a hammer on the range while removing a ceiling light. Viewed a How-To video on Google. Ordered the needed parts. Followed the steps from the How-To video. Reinstall was a bit tricky by myself - could have used an extra set of hands. I have a few words of caution: 1) Put something between the range top and range - like a sheet or drop cloth - to prevent a dropped screw from falling into a crevice in the stove. I dropped a screw and was unable to retrieve it, even with a magnet. 2) Makes sure you remove all bumpers, screws, clips, etc. from the item being replaced and put them on the new item if the new item does not come with replacement bumpers, screws, etc.
Verified P/N with LG. Took a few days . They sent names of several suppliers, cost was almost double. Ordered part from P/S, here in 2 days. Watched video on you tube. Unplugged, took off back, unplugged bake element, removed power box. The opening for bake element is still attached to rear panel by tiny bits of sheet metal. Used Dremel with cut-off wheel to cut thru nibs & deburr opening. this panel has to be removed, it rests on bottom panel & is held in position by power box. Removed bake element carefully, front of element broken, tried to put new element in, would not fit. Had to grind notches in bottom panel down to clear supports on new element. This did the trick. back together quick & no problems. If had to do again estimate less than 1 hour.. By the way am 81 yrs. young.
