Do-It-Yourself Story

Good info on the webpage. Took me about one hour to repair which is longer than expected but that included cleaning up the pans and rock which was overdue. Here is the process: 1)Turn off breaker and verify no power; 2) remove cooking grates, rocks, and steel grates from both sides (for access and weight reduction); 3) remove a total of 10 Phillips screws from inside the pans on both sides (8) and the temp control knob box; 4) Now you can raise the pan so you can access the nuts from the element on the inside; 5) remove (2) nuts with 5/16 wrench being careful not to drop the nuts; 6) remove wiring clips from temp console; 7) remove old burner and replace with new ensuring to also attach green ground wire when reinstalling; 8) Run wiring and reconnect to temp control; 9) Do a quick check that element works before reinstalling all parts--be careful it gets hot and stays hot for a while so let cool down after check ;10) reinstall screws, steel grates, rocks, etc., in reverse order; 11) Cleanup and enjoy your steak that will be cooked to perfection.
