J730*02 General Electric Range - Instructions

First I turned off the breaker to the oven,
then I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I placed the new element in the oven, reconnected the wiring and replaced the two screws in the mounting bracket. I reset the breaker and turned the oven on to about 450 degrees for 30 minutes to burn off the new smell of the element. This job was very easy and I saved about $100 from paying a service to do it.

Unplugged range. Removed old element from back of oven which was held in by two screws. Unscrewed the wires that were attached to old element and screwed them into the new one.

With great ease. Only thing I would have appreciated was knowing the size ofvthevrequired socket wrench. Otherwise it was easy and fun as the instructions were crystal clear.

unplugged oven. removed oven racks.Disconnected old unit. Installed new unit. Very very simple

The bake element in my 17 year old GE free standing electric range became defective. This element has 2 terminals -- black (240V) and white (neutral). While removing the element from the range, a 2nd black wire was pulled out of the back of the oven. This wire had a bare terminal connection and apparently had been loose behind the oven shell for all these 17 years. Inspection of this wire showed it carried 115V. I wrapped this wire with electrical tape and reinserted it into the insulation behind the oven shell.

First of all I did this repair because the wire to the burner shorted out. I did the wire portion first - only then did I know I needed the switch kit. (The burner was operating while my old swithch was OFF). The first (wire replacement) repair took about 10 minutes - I followed the guidance on this web-site. The second repair (The switch) took about 20 minutes. The switch ws not the same as the original. Just be careful to mark each wire as you remove them from the old switch's posts. The posts on the switch are marked and you need to place them on the like-marked corresponding posts on the new switch. All is well, my burner is operational.

Your "virtual repairman" was fantastic. I would have purchased the wrong part without trhe diagnostic service. It said that 53% of the time the infinite switch was the problem. In my case it was 100%. Why I put up with this problem for 6 years I will never know.

Repair job was easy but longer than the 15 minutes that it said it would take.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Then I replaced it with the new element that took only two days to arrive and that was without paying extra express shipping fees. It couldn't have been easier. I didn't even wait for my husband to come home and install it. I had an oven-baked meal ready when he got home. I was very satisfied.

Partselect had the right part, clearly indicated in the diagrams and menus. Shipped quickly. Easy to use web site.

I had begged my husband for 1 1/2 years to fix the oven and he said it would be cheaper to buy a new one but he wouldn't go buy one. So I decided to fix it myself. I removed the screws that hold the element and then I pulled the element out and disconnected the wires. I then hooked the wires to the new element and pushed it back in place and attached the two screws. I made sure to put the insulation back in place and now I can cook cornbread again! Thank you so much for making this so easy for me to do by myself.

Unplugged oven. Removed the two screws from inside the oven that secured element to the back. I then removed the protective cover for the plug from behind the oven-three screws. Disconnected the element from the electrical wires, removed and replaced the element. And reassembled the cover and all the screws in reverse order. Plugged it in. Presto, 5 mins and works great.

The part was very easy to locate on the website. The shipping was very fast and the part was easy to install!

My daughter and I turned off the breaker to the range and removed the old element and replaced it with the new one. My husband came home and took over after we had done almost everything ourselves!!

The bake element is very easy to replace. Turn off the circuit breaker to the stove. Two screws (1/4" socket needed, not screwdriver) come out to release the plate, then two more screws of the same size to unfasten the element to the stove wiring. Reverse the process to put the new one back in. I let my fourteen year old son do the whole thing. By the way, the photo of the element on the web site did not look like the element in my stove. I called customer support and was assured that it was the proper part. When it arrived, it did exactly match my element. The photo on the web site was incorrect. (Part number PS249466)

Unpluged Stove, Unscrewed the wires attached to the Element in the back of stove after I removed the cover. Removed the two screws that held the Element at the back of the oven compartment. Then replaced the Element with the new one and put back the screws, the wires and the cover in the same sequence iI took it apart. Plugged it back in works like new!
