How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6011209 / WP74010750 Electric Range Oven Bake Element

We purchased one from your website, and it arrived 4 days later. My husband took out the broken one and put in the new one. 

Tripped circuit breaker to stove and used fire extinguisher to put out flames in oven..a word of caution ..even though I used a short quick blast from the extinguisher it caused a huge mess as the powder went everywhere.. although a mess is better than a fire for sure! Got on line with my stove model number at appliance parts pros ordered both oven and broiler elements and replaced both even though the oven was fine..did it just because it made sense to.. Most difficult part was fishing old terminal wires out of oven back wall...once oven was throughly cleaned the install of the new parts was a breeze...flipped circuit breaker back to on and all worked perfectly!!!...thank you appliance parts pros for you quick response!! ..parts were delivered in two days!!! 

Replaced element with new one, took about 15 minutes. Easy repaired, only problem the element got bent up during shipping, just take your time and straighten it back out easily, worked fine. Ordering was easy, and got parts to me fast, highly recommended this company, have used them in the past and everyone good experience. Thanks 

Got the oven model and serial number, Googled oven information, found the part (new lower oven element) that matched the shape of the broken oven element. There were two screws in the oven and then I had to loosen the back of the stove to get access to the electrical connections. Reversed the process for installation when AppliancePartsPros.com part arrived. Cooked a pizza. 

Simply removed old element, removed clips and replaced with new one and secure in place with existing screws. 

Slight difficulty holding the wire inside the oven so I could slide off the connectors. No wire slack. used some flexible wire around the clip to keep it inside the oven. Very easy web site to accurately match model and part numbers. Paid for overnight shipping. Received in 2 days over Christmas week. 

It went well. 

When I received the new element it was installed and oven worked fine. I did have a problem with getting the right element but they made it right. 

Easy 

Ordered new element.
