The element on my oven stopped working while I was baking for Christmas dinner. I needed a replacement quickly. After reading several articles on the internet, I decided to try to fix it myself without a service tech & a service call charge. The manufacturer quoted $88 + S&H and a local parts store quoted $66 + S&H. When I found the same item on Amazon for less than $45 w/ free shipping, I decided to give it a try. The part arrived after about 1 week and was exactly what I needed. No instructions included...had to rely on the how-tos that I found on the internet, but it was a fairly easy fix. Removing the oven door was very helpful, but was heavy and not very easy to lift high enough to clear the hinges, since I am short, but I managed. Unplugging the old element was the most difficult part. The connections hadn't moved in almost 15 years and were stuck tight. Didn't know what,if any, solvent would be safe, so just relied on "wiggle & pull" method (very scientific). This eventually worked and the rest of the job was a breeze. Oven is working properly and I suppose I saved a couple of hundred dollars by avoiding a service call.
