Always unplug your appliance first. That can never be said enough when messing with anything electrical. This repair was extremely easy and I recommend using a 6mm socket with ratchet to get those pesky screws off. Be sure to pull the wires and connectors out about two inches or so once the element is free. Once those screws are off it's breeze to swap out the element. There's nothing to it and there's no way you can install it incorrectly. Make sure you use a pair of needle nose pliers to insure a snug connection on the connectors. From start to finish the job takes 15 minutes.
