Christine W Golden Valley , MN December 04, 2020 The radiant elements had been dead for years the bake element failed spectacularly on Thanksgiving It took a few of us. One to vacuum up the fire extinguisher residue. One to trip the breaker. One to provide light. One to clean out under the stove while it was pulled out. I disconnected the bake element. I needed help to disconnect one of them because it was very tight. I put the element into the oven and reconnected the right side, very easy. The left side fell back into the slot. Curses ensued. I removed the back plate and it was very easy to thread the left wire back into the oven and reconnect the wire. Oven done. Back plate reattached fairly easily. My son and I removed the screws under the front of the range top. While holding up the range top he removed the screws holding one of the radiant elements. The replacement element was not identical to the original one. It was fairly intuitive and after another child found some needle nose pliers to remove the wiring we were able to hook up the new element and screw it back in place. The second element was replaced in similar fashion. Except during replacement one of the clips that holds the element in place fell down inside the range. After some creative thinking, the clip was recovered and the repair was complete. I used the scraper to remove most of the burnt crunchy bits that had accumulated under the edges of the range top. It was very effective. The last problem was pushing the stove back into place. The power cord got stuck underneath the stove. We needed to repurpose a wooded sword into a hook to hold the cord out of the way until the stove was back in place.

Roy D Front Royal , VA March 31, 2014 Heating element Turned the oven on and it didn't heat. So check to see if the broil would work and it did. So I ordered a heating element and it took 15 seconds to install maybe less. Works great!! Shipped fast as well.

David D Rock Creek , OH October 13, 2014 Bottom oven element caught fire After seeing the bottom oven element catch fire, I knew it was going to be an easy fix as I have used parts to fix my appliances from AppliancePartsPros.com before. I used the chat line as there was more than possible element for my stove. I gave them the model number and was given the correct part that I ordered thru the chat line. In all the ordering took about 5 minutes and the part arrived 2 days later. It only took about 15 minutes from start to finish to replace the element and the stove was back in service. In the 3-4 times I've order from this company I have never been disappointed or sent the wrong part and it shows up on the doorstep in 2 days. I'm really pleased with the service I get from AppliancePartsPros.com and will continue to order from them. Thanks, APP.com keep up the good work!!!!
