Carmon C Helena , AL August 10, 2015 Oven element burned out I removed the old element but one of the attaching wires did not pull out of the back of the oven. The wire and connector was stuck in the insulation. Using a wire coat hanger I bent it into the shape of a hook and easily pulled the connecting wire out. The new element went in without any other problems. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
