LRE30451SW LG Range - Overview

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.

I searched online and found someone that seemed to have the exact problem. That person had replaced the lower burner and the same PCB board I replaced. I was able to test the lower burner without removing it and it tested OK. The PCB board in the article I had checked was burned and obviously bad but mine was not. I took a chance and ordered just the PCB board. I replaced this board and the oven now works perfectly. I seems this board was not turning on the bottom burner but the system thought it was working fine.

Removed the back of the Range. Removed one wire at a time from the old PCB and placed it in position on the New PCB. Then secured the New PCB in the holder.
