Also known as a temperature sensor. This part is used to detect the temperature within the oven cavity.
**The following instructions only apply if the connector piece is different than the original...
Turned power off at electrical panel. Pulled oven away from wall. Removed back cover (6 screws), then unplugged wires from old receptacle. I had to pull the squeeze clips backwards & break them to remove the old receptacle - couldn't squeeze them enough to remove them otherwise. The old receptacle came out through the inside of the oven, and the new one snapped in easily from inside the oven as well. Replaced wiring, installed new bulb, restored power & tested. Replaced back cover. Good time to vacuum under/behind where the oven usually lives before sliding it back to the wall.
Replaced element. Removed shelves, removed two screws and lifted/wiggles old element out to pull wires off at connectors. Reversed process installing new element and truned on to test/burn off "newness" Done!
Pulled out the stove, removed the screws that held on the back panel, took out the 2 screws that held in the element and disconnected the wires and put the new one in. I put the screw back in and was finished!
