66598002701 Kenmore Range - Instructions

Watched a utube video on replacing element on my model range. Found my Phillips screwdriver. An electric drill would have been a bonus but not necessary. Pulled out range, pulled out plug, removed 1 screw from the lower back cover, disconnected the 2 wires, went to the front and removed oven door and racks, unscrewed 2 screws holding the element. Put new element in and reverse dprocess. Test oven. It worked!!

FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS AND READ THE HINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS. IT WAS VERY EASY.

Turned off circuit breaker. Unscrewed old element holders from inside broiler - 4 screws. Pulled old element out to expose slip on wire connection at end. R&R with the new one. Screwed assembly back in. Turned on CB and tested. Good to go.

watched how to video so was prepared for a standard install. removed screws and coverplate...disconnected wires...threaded new element thru coverplate...reconnected wires...reinstalled coverplate with screws. disconnecting and reconnecting wires took some thought and patience, but wasn't rocket science.

First I disconnected the power! unscrewed the two screws holding element in place disconnected the wire clips from ends of element (be sure to hold them so they don't "retract" into the body of the oven) Connect the wire clips onto the new element and replace into original location and replace the screws. Turn power back on and start cooking again!

once i got down and in the oven ( Im 74) that was the hard part all the rest was 10minutes and very easy ....... turnoff the breaker or unplug the unit

This was the easiest repair I have ever done. The element was shipped right away and I received it in about 3 or 4 days. 2 screws were removed and reinserted to replace the heating element.

It's a straightforward remove and replace with two screws. The lower element is most likely to go with years of baking when bake pans overflow on to the element, It can be checked with an electrical probe for resistance and continuity. If the oven is preheating and the lower element doesn't heat that is definitive. We had it checked under the extended warranty but the tech wasn't thorough enough. The extended warranty is of questional value.

turned off the oven at the main breaker. removed the four screws...two in back and two on the upper holding breacket.
removed the element and disconnected the spade contacts by just pulling them apart. measured it. Compared measurements
with items in catalog. Found exact match, ordered it.
Put it in same as out only reverse.
easy.

easily pulled old seal out and push new seal in place simple and quick.

I removed the two screws retaining the heating element with a phillips head screw driver. Then I pulled the element forward to expose the wire connectors, and disconnected the two wires. I connected the two wires to the new heating element, and secured the new heating element with the two screws.

The repair is only half the battle... for hands-on homeowners.

The repair went very well! Not only was the clear speaking PERSON on the phone extremely helpful, we saved MONEY, functional DIAGRAMS on the web to assist in finding the part you need, the part was DELIVERED in a timely manner, directly to our home.

Before I found PartSelect; I fought mandatory email inquiries for the part, proposed in-home service visited scheduled sometime between 8-5, unrecognizable speaking person… these issues left me rubbing my head to soothe a headache that had just started and the part had not even been ordered… Anyone will look back on their experience with PartSelect and feel they have just returned from a wonderful restful vacation. THANKS!

Once I saw the spring clips on the new door seal, it was easy to understadn how to remove the old seal and install the new one. Looks nice !

removed stove/oven back & disconnected 2 wires. Removed 2 screws holding element to back of oven & 2 screws holding retainer bracket. Replaced element reversed procedure.

Took 5 minutes... I did it in my pajamas... after a heavy duty margarita!

Here's a tip: start from behind.
