I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.
I ordered part from Part Select, which literally arrived in 2 days. I unscrewed the two (2) screws holding the old bake element in the oven. Pulled out the element and detached the wires connected to the element, which was easily done without any tools. Attached those wires (again easily by hand with no tools) to the new bake element and screwed the two (2) screws back in. The whole process including ordering the part online, unpacking the box and installing took 15 minutes. Wonderful and in time for my wife and daughter to bake Christmas cookies!
Well it was quite simple to replace all I used was a long Phillips screw driver,the job only took me 10 minutes to complete,thank you so much for the part you sent me it was the correct part.
Was fairly easy to take door off, and apart. Multiple layers of glass in the door, which all needed cleaning, but re-assembly was rather easy. No tricks or short cuts!
removed old bake element (remove two screws, disconnect two wires. install new element connect wires, replace screws to hold in place. turn on oven to be sure it works.
Bake element burned out the week before Thanksgiving!
I got online, and "Googled" bake element and Whirlpool (model #), and selected PartSelect by chance. The website had a diagram of my oven with parts and it was easy to select the right part. I paid extra to have it shipped overnight and it arrived the next day. I removed two screws, disconnected the old element, and replaced it with the new element. It worked!! I think I saved a lot of money by doing the repair myself. (I am a 66 yearl old woman and will choose PartSelect by choice for future appliance repairs.)
