There was a pop in the oven and the bake element broke in two and seemed to ooze out onto the bottom of the oven. There were also little shrapnel pieces. I'm glad I found this site.
The fix was very easy: I loosened the two screws on the brackets, disconnected the old element (taking care not to let the wires slip back behind the opening), connected the new element, and replaced the screws.
Part works perfectly for my Magic Chef oven (CER1115AAW). Sears Parts Direct wanted $51 for the part, and that was before adding in the shipping. Through this site I got 2nd day shipping and the part for $41. This has been a very positive experience.
