    • Removing heating element

      It is helpful to use a pair of pliers and a needle-nose pliers. You also should use a 1/4" nut driver or socket. Make sure that you shut the power off to the range prior to working on it. Remove the two 1/4" sheet metal screws. Once removed the connectors for the element will pull out enough to be able to grasp the spade connectors with your need nose pliers. With the reg pliers grab the element side of the connector and pull to disconnect. Repeat for the other side. If you have the replacement element re-connect with your new element, otherwise it is advisable to put some electrical tape on the bare connectors until your ready to replace the element. Turn the power back on and your up and running. Good luck.
