Default OT -- switching heating elements

You don't have to take off the back of the oven. You can remove the
element in situ. Just undo two 1/4" hex-head screws, pull out the base
of the element a bit, and pull off the friction-fit connectors.


Well at least one side of the line is disconnected.


If both sides were connected, the element would be on! Wouldn't it?


Thank God for small favors. So when you reach inside the oven
and pull the hot terminal off the element while you're leaning on
the open door with your chest, you only pass 120 through you heart.


Well, I was clothed. And the door was off.
