Do-It-Yourself Story

Looked up the appropriate model and verified that the part was the correct one. When it arrived, I unplugged the oven. I removed the racks. I found the proper socket to fit the screws and unscrewed the old bake element. I carefully pulled it out to make sure the cables wouldn't be disconnected. I staged the new element under the existing one, unplugged one terminal, reconnected to the new element, then unplugged the other terminal and connected it to the new element. After the terminals were securely connected, I re-seated it in the back of the oven, replaced and tightened the screws, put the racks back in, and plugged in the oven. I gave it a quick test to make sure it heated up, left it running for ~10 minutes to burn off anything on the burner, then turned off the oven. Total time was ~ 15 minutes.
