I order the part and when it came I took the old part out and replaced it with the new one. it was a very easy fix...

Repair was easy, 2 screws 10 minutes. Parts were ordered Monday night and installed wendsday

Ordered new part, swap out old for new element

Heating element was easy to replace unscrewing the two screws and unplugging the connectors from the broken element and then reversing the process to put in the new element. The gasket on the other hand required me to dismantle the door. Remove the old gasket and replaced the new gasket and then putting the door together again. This took some time and there were no instructions for the job so went by the seat of my pants. The gasket fits well and the oven has more consistent heat.
