Brian, If the oven cavity bottom is solid then there is only a small channel in the rear to remove the element and no access for cleaning. All you can do is run a self-clean and let whatever has spilled burn off.

You might need to find someone with bigger muscles or you would have to drill it out and replace it with a new screw.

Steven, To remove the bake element, if there is no access in the back then the side panel will need to be removed to take the element out. This will require the main top to be lifted and the screws on the top of the side panel and the back of the panel to be removed.

Cainst for Model Number GY397LXUS03 (Whirlpool)

During the self-clean cycle, my oven tripped its breaker. After turning the breaker back on it tripped the main breaker to the whole house. One of the element's lead wire female connectors was burnt and stuck to the side of the oven. Also saw evidence of an arc on the metal of the oven wall. I didn't see any other poor wiring connections. Do I just need to replace the burnt wire connector? Is this as easy as cutting off the old terminal disconnect, and crimping a new one on?

1 Answer

Cainst, Thanks for the question!!! Yes, it should like correcting the wire issue should solve the problem. It is as easy as cutting off the old terminal disconnect and crimping a new one on. There is a slight chance that other components (mainly the oven control) could have been damaged but you won't know till the wiring is corrected.

Randy, You will want to slide the range out and remove the rear panel. Once it is removed you will see a small panel at the bottom that you will remove to take out the element.

Hello Stephen, Model WOD93EC0AS00 wall oven will have to be pulled from the wall to access the hidden bake element from the rear. Remove the all ¼" hex-head screws from the rear panel. Remove rear panels and set them aside. You now have access to the following components (may vary by model): • Convection Assembly/Fan • Light assembly • Thermal Limiter • Oven temp sensor • Light assembly (right side light) • Cooling Fan • Broil element • Bake element • Hall Effect Sensor • Convection Element

Brandie, If you can see the bake element inside the oven then you could remove the 2 screws that hold it in place and slide it out but make sure that the breaker is turned to the off position. If the element is not showing then this would be a hidden bake element and you would need to remove the oven from the cabinet to gain access to the element.

Hello Julie, access to the bake element WP9755770 for replacement is done through the right side of the range, turn off power to the stove, pull the stove out of its location, remove the right-side panel, at the lower area of the oven cavity push the insulation aside and unscrew the screws holding the rectangular strip covering the element opening, slide the bake element out.
