Elec oven heating element broken
Something happened to the bottom heating element and one end has broken off
from the point where it connects to the back of the oven. Is this easily replaced, or do I look for a new stove? Its only a few years old (5?) -- Frigidaire. I called the 1 800 # and electrolux answered, but no one was there. Thanks -- :O: Wesley Dowling Callisto Solutions, LLC 1602 Belle View Blvd #585 Alexandria VA,. 22307 (703) 283 3497 |

There are at least two other choices, that it is replaced with some difficulty, and that it is replaced by calling a service man. I don't know this brand or this model, but mine is easy. Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven. Put tape over the breaker so that no one else will turn it back on when you are in the other room. Make sure you have the right circuit breaker by turning the oven on. It should not go on. In my case, it just takes unscrewing two screws at the back of the oven, pulling the wires out a bit, and sliding the flat metal sleeves off the flat metal tabs on the element. You'll probably have to pull the piece that broke off out of its sleeve too. Reverse to install the new one. But someone else here probably knows your brand and you should wait for him for better details. Its only a few years old (5?) -- Frigidaire. I called the 1 800 # and electrolux answered, but no one was there. That's sad. Thanks |

There are at least two other choices, that it is replaced with some difficulty, and that it is replaced by calling a service man. Or it's repaired by duct taping it back together. I don't know this brand or this model, but mine is easy. Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven. Put tape over the breaker so that no one else will turn it back on when you are in the other room. Make sure Or tape everyone in the house to a chair, door, or the wall. Use 5 to 10 rolls of duct tape on each person. you have the right circuit breaker by turning the oven on. It should not go on.
