1 Answer

Ahsen, according to the model number given the left front and right rear elements are the same (large elements) and the left rear and right front elements are the same (small elements). The left front/right rear element is part number WPW10242957. The original item has been discontinued and replaced with the part sent to you. It may look different and the connections may be different however, it will work on your unit. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hello James, here are your instructions. 1. Turn off the electrical supply going to the range. 2. Open the oven door. 3. Remove the two cooktop bracket screws from the bottom front of the cooktop. 4. Pull the cooktop forward far enough to unhook it from the top of the range. 5. Lift the front of the cooktop and rest it against the control panel. CAUTION: Be careful that the cooktop does not accidentally fall forward. 6. To remove an element, a) Remove the wires from the element and limiter terminals. b) Remove the element bracket screw (shown above) for the element and limiter you are servicing. c) If you are removing the center element and limiter, remove the screw from the hot surface indicator bracket and remove the indicator. d) Carefully lift the bottom of the bracket just far enough to remove the element. NOTE: If you are removing an element at the top of the bracket, remove the lower element first, lay it on top of the range, and then remove the top element from the bracket. REASSEMBLY NOTE: When you reinstall the element and limiter, make sure that the alignment pins are inserted into the correct bracket slots, (see the photo to the right) then reinstall the bracket screw to secure it to the cooktop. Hope this helps!

Steve, First thing, based on the information you supplied, you have the incorrect part. The left rear and right front burner should be W10212682 and the left front and right rear burner should be 8189761 (which is no longer available). There are no "major' physical differences in either elemnt, as long as the wattage and size are compatible, you may be able to use the element you have. But you will need to note the location of the terminals, and use the wiring diagram to wire the element properly, we'll send you the information. Thanks
