"New" Oven ... Elementary


The result for now is repair, rather than replace. Here's the repaired oven in action. The important thing to remember when installing the new element (or for that matter, removing the old element) is to turn off the power at the circuit breaker. And no, I won't tell you how I know this to be the case; there were no injuries and no tools destroyed as part of the repair. Two sheet metal screws, pull out the old element; unscrew the power connectors. Rush to the parts store so that you get there at least 12 minutes before closing. Installation is the reverse.

Nothing quite as motivating as "If we don't have an oven I can't cook Easter dinner," huh?

You're awesome. And I love you.

Did you have a broken oven?

yeah, the top coil in our oven burned about a half inch segment, but it didn't burn quite like yours. there was nothing left on the part that had burned.
