Cut power off to oven in fuse panel...Removed door from oven, had to use flat edge screwdriver to slide hinge locks into place, Removed all oven grates, Removed left side and right side attachment screws from element, removed burned out element and unhooked wires from burnt element, reconnected wires to replacement element, reinstalled attachment screws, reinstalled oven grates, reinstalled door... Turned power back on to oven, turned oven on to bake, oven heated right up! Easy repair...

I observed that the lower heating element was attached to the lower rear of the oven by two stainless phillips screws. I removed the screws and gently pulled the element outward. The element came out easily with two large red wires attached (one on each side). I unplugged the wires and extracted the old element. I used this as an opportunity to clean the floor of the oven that was hard to get at with the element in place. I installed the new element by plugging in the two red wires and used the same two stainless screws to reattach.
