Product review (5 stars): Easy and Works Great
My mother-in-law called me the other day because her lower oven element on her Whirlpool stove had gone out. I am her own personal handyman and Mr Fix it for EVERYTHING. I of course was not familiar with how to fix this and nearly called a repairman to help her. Instead I went and inspected the oven. The lower element was indeed not working.

I turned off the breaker to assure no power and found it was only two small screws that hold it in, well that was easy. Give the element a light tug and whola, it is out and the new one ready to go in. Of course I now had to order this piece still, and that is where my good (maybe best) friend Amazon came into play.

On a side note, I did something fairly dangerous that most people may not want to try. I actually tested the voltage of the oven to assure it was just a bad element and not a bad oven. I DO NOT recommend you try this unless you are very familiar with voltage meters and electricity.

After I confirmed it was the element I placed my order and two days later the element came and I slid the new one back in the slot the old one was removed from. Then I placed the two little screws back. At this point, having never repaired a stove element before, I said a little prayer that I had done it right. I went to the basement and flipped the breaker back on and went back to the stove to give it a go. Turned the oven on and we had success, the element turned on and glowed bright orange as it should.

We then tested the heat to assure it was accurate and it was indeed spot on. Now I have to add my mother-in-law caters and uses her oven all the time. So between my mad skills (that I had no idea I had) and a gigantic help from my friend Amazon, I was a hero!
