I always unplug oven or turn off power make sure though it will bite ya and hard after turning power off if you do it at the breaker turn stove top on make sure it don come on remember its 220volts and it hurts open oven door remove all racks.Then remove the screws mounting element to oven pull gently towards you (you may have to lift the front up a little) pull old element out until you see the spade connector (plug ins with the wires attached) remove these should be two of them be careful not to let wires go back into the cabinet put new element in hook wires back up to wires push back into the hole and put screws in turn power back on and test. this can also be done by taking the back off also and doing the same thing in the oven.hope this helps ya

Hi there,
not sure I can help but will try. If your oven is fan forced you will probably find a cover that removes inside the oven to reveal the fan and also the element. Some elements are screwed in. Sometimes you have to take the back panel off also to get to the wires to remove them without breaking the lugs off. Hope this helps.
Regards
Bryan

Before attempting any repairs, make sure the power is turned off! If you are unsure or not confident, please call a service technician.
The element is behind a cover that is held in place either by screws or clips. Once the cover is removed, the element will be visible. The element will be screwed in place by a number of screws on the base plate and around the element itself. After removing the screws, pull the element fron the rear of the oven. the wires should be attached to the element via lugs. The lugs need to be unattached from the element. Before removing the wiring, take note of the connections so that reinstallation can be carried out.

Hello- Access is thru left side panel (from front). Unplug oven and move out for easier access. Remove panel and find cover for element under insulation. Be careful- fiberglass dust and sharp edges! Insulation needs to be carefully pulled back enough to remove cover and element. This is where most techs get sloppy- Insulation should look just as good after you finish so take some time to do it right. Please acknowledge this posted solution if helpful. I have more info if needed.- Thanks- Ed
