Samsung DE81-03841A Svc-Bake Element Kit OEM Part

We followed the instructions provided with the new element. When powered up for burn in phase, heard a loud 'pop'. Turned the power back off. Pulled oven out of wall to access the back of the oven. Took off the back of oven. It was very obvious that the element had shorted out on the oven case. The connectors on the element end up touching the oven case when installed per instructions. When using the existing screw holes to secure the element to the interior oven wall, the element did not sit flush on the oven floor. Used the broken element to fashion a mounting clip from a piece of the mounting plate to hold the new element in place. With this revision, the element connectors did not touch the exterior oven case anymore, I believe the short pieces of wire shrink wrap are not the best long-term solution to prevent the element from touching the oven case. Additionally, you would still need to bend the element connectors down and that is not in the instructions provided with the element. The failed element connectors were bent down. You cannot see this from the interior of the oven but it is suggested when the element does not sit flat. It was easy to see and fix the problem once the oven was out of the wall, but not everyone has the ability to remove an oven from the wall. Tin snips easily cut the mounting plate from the failed oven to make the mounting clip. Retested continuity of the new element before reinstalling with 'macgyvered' clip. Very happy to find and create a fix for the problem. Avoided the cost to buy a new wall oven! Also allowed me to see the condition of the other wiring and connections to make sure nothing else needed to be addressed while the oven was out of the wall!

Removed the oven door (easy), removed the convection cover, removed the bake element. Reinstall was a bit difficult because the bake element wires/connectors had limited free play so it was tight and I had to use needle-nose pliers to hold the wire connectors then plug in the new element.

I went to Appliance Parts Pros website and entered my information on the oven. There was a video I watched on the repair and it seemed easy enough. I ordered the part and in arrived within days. My husband installed it will little trouble just as the video directed and now the oven works beautifully!

Super easy. I received my part one day after I ordered it on regular shipping, watched the how-to video, removed racks and 3 screws, replaced element, replaced screws, and I was done!

Removed old element and replaced with the new. Only two screws to remove in order to take out the old element. Disconnect two wires and reconnect to the new element. Reinstall the new element with the screws.
