Belle K Anaconda , MT August 29, 2014 Appliance: Magic Chef Self Cleaning Free Standing Electric Range 3868XVW Oven bake element stopped working I'm a 66 year old woman (on a fixed income) and I'd never before repaired an oven bake element . My stove is 20 years old but I still found it was much more affordable to change the bake element rather than buying a new stove. I called the number on the website and talked to a very informative woman. She answered all the questions I had about my stove. She told me about the repair video on the website which had step-by-step instructions. I ordered a new element - received it within 4 days. I watched the 5 minute video and changed the part in 20 minutes. My stove works wonderfully again and I can't thank you enough for all the help given on your website.

Jonathan W Chester , VA October 03, 2014 Oven wouldn't heat past 220 degrees After troubleshooting potential causes for the oven not heating, I determined that the heating element was no longer functional. The part arrived in 2 days. I turned off power to oven, unscrewed 2 screws holding element in place, and removed old element. New element was easy to slide into terminals, then replaced screws. In the past, I paid a technician to do this. The cost was $97. Do it yourself cost $37, and less than a half hour with troubleshooting and installation.
