First we unplugged the oven and shut off the gas. We then began removing the two plates on the floor, inside of the oven, to reveal the pipe with the dead heating element. You remove the screws from the back of the first plate, pop it out from the front, then remove the screws from the front of the second plate and pop it out from the back.
The only issue we encountered was when we attempted to remove the two screws for the pipe: the front screw was stuck (possibly from old oil) and stripped easily. to fix that, we took a metal handsaw, and sawed a new cut into the screw to fit a flathead.
After dealing with the screw, we removed the pipe and unplugged the old heating element. We removed the bottom drawer for extra room to assist with unplugging the heating element, and for removing the pipe from the gas line.
We removed two screws with nuts that were attaching the element to the pipe, and replaced it with the new element.
after reattaching the element and placing the pipe back onto the line, before we placed the plates back, we turned the oven and gas back on to test if it was working. One successful test later, we placed the plates and bottom drawer back and we were done.
