Most require 2 screws to be removed to lift the glass cover from over the bulb. Then simply unscrew the bulb and insert new bulb. A 1/4" nut driver is the best tool for the job.

Yes you can - yes it is worth it. First unplug or turn the breaker off to your unit. The bottom bake element is held in by 2 screws at the back of the oven. remove both of them and gently pull out the element a little. there are 2 wires attached to the element either by 2 more screws or push in connectors.
A lot of the time you can see where the element is burned out but sometimes you may have to check it for continuity with an ohm meter to tell if it is bad.
1. Some glass covers are held on with a wire clip over them. It should be visible.
2. Some have a 'ring' which is screwed to the oven cavity around the light cover. On that design the screws need to be removed from the surrounding retaining ring.
3. On may later model the glass light cover screws into place. Those covers should 9hopefully) be able to be unscrewed the same you you'd remove a jar lid.
It sure can. Whirlpool has some wonderful appliances and their ovens have a very large capacity for your Thanksgiving turkey or what ever you cook. The best of luck to you and enjoy your huge new 30" oven.
Easy replacement. Make sure to unplug power or shut off breaker. remove 1/4" hex screw on back of element. Pull off female terminals or some have screws. Install new element the same way.
The glass lens cover for the bulb is usually screwed into the socket so turn it counter clockwise and see if it comes off. When replacing the light bulb, press the door switch to ensure no power is going ot the bulb socket to prevent it from damaging the new bulb.
