Paul July 31, 2011 for Model Number cre9600cce When replacing the bake element, as I pulled the wires out of the back of the oven, the wire on the left had burned insulation. Plus it was broken. Am I going to have to replace the range?
1 Answer Hello Paul. Test and see if the clock assembly is sending power to both wires and you have 240 volts on the wires. If so, you can replace the end on the wire TJMA02875-1 and the element, and you should be ok. If not, you may need to replace the clock 12001603 assembly as well. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Ken C. June 24, 2011 for Model Number cre 9600 cce What is the size of the wire, connecting to the back of the element for our oven? We have to get a quick connect to put our New element in. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ken. Most of the bake elements use a 14 guage high temperature wire. Hope this helps. Read More...
Wayne June 06, 2011 for Model Number CRE8400ACW I replaced the bake element and the new element will not heat up. The broil works fine. The indicator light comes on when the selector is in the broil position but there is no light in the bake position. Is the selector switch bad? FYI the clock has been crazy for years and I don't beleive it is working at all now.
1 Answer Hello Wayne. You will need to test and see if the selector switch WP7403P255-60 is working properly. If not, you will need to replace the switch. If it is , you will need to test the thermostat WP7404P105-60 and see if it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Mike June 06, 2011 for Model Number CRE9400BCW When I try to preheat the oven the broil element gets warm and the bake element stays cold. The obvious thought is to replace the the bake element. Should I check the bake element as indicated in the previous question?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Yes, you will need to test the bake element and see if it is bad or good. It should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Randhir April 08, 2011 for Model Number cre9300ccl My bake element was burning, I mean was literely on fire, and element was melted. I know I can replace the element. I want to know what might have caused the fire and melt the element. Is it ok to replace the element, and it would not happen again? I mean it will not be on fire. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Randhir. Usually the element catches on fire from a grease spill. It can get some grease or chemical on it and will blaze up and melt. You should be ok to replace the element, but if more grease gets on it, it will do it again. This is with any type of baking element. Hope this helps. Read More...
Guest March 12, 2011 I'm interested in replacing the bake element (part # AP3440575). It looks to be a matter of uncrimping the old element and replacing it. Is it that simple?
1 Answer Hello. Just disconnect the power to the range, unscrew the old element, and remove the wires. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Nick March 07, 2011 My element burned up the wiring that goes into the back of the even. I know that i can snip the wiring down however i am looking for the connector that goes from the wire to the baking element prt#AP4093085.
1 Answer Hello Nick, we have a set of 20 available part # TJMA02875-1. Hope this helps, thanks! Read More...
Guest March 01, 2011 The bake element does not heat beyond about 95 degrees. I'm thinking replacing it will fix the problem. Is this the most obvious as well as correct fix?
1 Answer There are several things that can cause this. You can test the element with a multi-meter. It should read closed for continuity. Be sure and disconnect power to the range and remove the element to test it. If it is closed, then the element is ok. That would lead you to a voltage issue or bad clock assembly. Hope this helps.
