How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP5590131 / 318255006 Heating Element

I ordered a replacement part from appliancepartspros.com. The ordering process was very clear. Also, there was a video demonstrating how to remove and replace the element. The whole process only took about 10 minutes. Great experience from ordering to installation. 

Easy fix: turn off power; remove two screws; pull old element forward and disconnect two wires; remove old element; attach the two wires to new element and reattach the two mounting screws. Done! Took ten minutes. Helpful if someone shines a flashlight on the two screws as you remove them. Ordered the part on Tuesday morning and it arrived Thursday. 

Followed the instructions on your very helpful video. 

Watched a video on how to replace it. Appliance parts pro had the element in stock. Several other web pages didn't have it. Ordered it, which arrived in 3 days ( arrived much faster than other parts web pages I have used in the past ). One of the 2 screws was seized up from 10 years of use. Used a Phillip screw driver and a hammer to break it loose. Ten minutes and it was done. 

As described on the web site. Removed two screws, removed wires and installed the two wires on the new element and screwed it back in. Less than 5 minutes. 

Bought a new part, watched your video and replaced it myself. 

Replaced lens and element with new ones from AppliancePatrsPros.com RECEIVED parts really quickly which is always nice and packaging was great too! Thank You. 

Watched two YouTube videos that made it look easy to repair. The PartSpec video is best because it shows how to remove stove back panel which is necessary no matter what, as well as replace bake element. Bake element replacement involves removing oven racks, removing two philips head screws, sliding off two electrical connectors, removing broken bake element, putting in new bake element, sliding two electrical connectors back on, and replacing two screws. It says it's a 15 minute repair on the PartSpec site. If the stove has never been used, that might be the case. It took us two hours. First, the screws were rusted. I had to use a q-tip to lightly put WD-40 around screw heads and wait a half hour or so to try again to loosen at least one screw. There are no extra screws included with the replacement unit. It would be easy to damage the philips screw heads. I was able to loosen one screw and then wiggle rotate the broken unit to break rust on other screw. The electrical connectors turned out to be too short to easily reconnect the new unit from inside the oven, necessitating pulling stove out and removing back panel to get access from the rear of stove to connectors. Took the opportunity to clean ten years of dirt and hidden encrusted spillage behind & along sides of stove. Wear work clothes since they'll get dirty. Basic repair IS very easy but age of stove will significantly increase time. 

Applianice pro, not only sent me the part quick, they sent me the video to do it myself. A new stove was 2700. It's a custome slidein.I'm not a handy guy, but they made it simple. These guys are amazing! Best service ever... 

Referred to the Appliance Parts Pro video giving repair instructions. It was pretty straight forward. Helpful info regarding the connection wires inside the walls of the oven and preventing them from falling down between those walls. Our oven is about 19 yrs. old and the screws holding the element's flange in place were easily stripped due to the exposure to high heat over that period of time and the breakdown of the screw material. Took a little coaxing with the correct tool but they ultimately came out. Install no problem. Light bulb replacement, no problem.
