Whirlpool WP4449154 Oven Element Mounting Screw OEM Part

We ordered the part and one extra screw(which we didn't end up using). If possible take door off your oven for easy access and have lighting source to see well. Taking part out was easy. Putting back in was more difficult because you have to match up two layers of parts in our oven. The broiler coil and the broiler shield above it. We used small craft clothes pins to keep wires from going behind the built in oven. We used a small diameter screw driver to match up holes before putting screws in. If you are not an appliance technician who does this a lot, it takes 2 people to replace part. It took us about 1.5 hours, because we first tried to put in in with oven door on.

So, I decided that from the number of screws needed to remove the worn parts and the " plug and play" appearance of the new parts on you website, I decided I could do this! This also how I approach my plumbing projects.....this really scares my husband! Well, everything came in at once so a few days later I decided it was time to do the deed. I had pre-spritzed the existing screws the night before with a degreaser and scrubbed with a used toothbrush. The screws all loosened up with no problem. Note here: I saw a comment on your website stating that although the screws look like a Phillips head screw, they have more of a star head. I had several of those in my handy dandy tool kit?? It took me about an hour total to unscrew and remove the old parts and pop in the new ones from your company. Easy peasy!! Thank you so much for supplying parts for appliances over 15 years old. Your company is the best.

Well I ordered the parts on a Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon they showed up. I opened the package, pulled out the new element and made sure I ordered the correct piece (I did, I know I shocked myself) and within 20minutes I had the old piece out and the new one in and tested the oven by pre heating. And since I had preheated it I felt that I could not let the opportunity pass and I made oatmeal cookies for myself (if my kids read this it was really for them....NOT) and within an hour I had my oven fixed and my oatmeal raisin cookies fix in as well.

Replaced Broil element. Relatively easy to replace element just make sure your careful when disconnecting wire from old element. I ordered 2 new screws and I used both of them because when removing old screws a couple of them got stripped.

The metal insulation strip is held to the frame with built-in clip, and this retainer and screw. I decided to replace the whole thing. It now looks brand new. One trick - buy a ratchet set to remove the screw which is in pretty tight, or remove the door. The ratchet method works. Put a drop of oil on the new screw. The end result: I purchased a used 24" KitchenAid double oven for $200 which sells for $1800 new. After spending $200 on parts (trim pieces were missing), it now looks absolutely brand new. The bottom oven doesnt look like it was used once. Good way to save money.
