William G Pawcatuck , RI March 12, 2016 The element was worn and shorting out It took me a total of 10 minutes to remove the old, put side by side and transfer wires, and put the new one in! Very simple fix for a 40+ year old GE range. 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
