1. Unplug the oven or turn off power at the electrical service panel.
2. Remove the screws or nuts that fasten the element to the back of the oven.
3. Unscrew any support brackets and pull the element forward to expose the wiring.
4. Remove the wires from the element terminals, being careful not to bend the terminals or let the wires fall back through the opening.
5. Carefully remove the element from the oven.
6. Inspect the wire terminals for burns or damage and replace if needed.
7. Set a multimeter to RX1 (resistance times 1) and touch probes to each of the terminals. The meter should show continuity. If it doesn't, the element should be replaced.
8. Use the same RX1 range to test for continuity to ground with one probe on a terminal and the other on the element. If the needle moves, there is a grounding problem and the element should be replaced.
9. If you replace the element, make sure it is of the same size, shape, and resistance as recommended by the manufacturer. Reinstall in reverse order.

Service an oven door:

1. To fix a cocked door, open the door and loosen the screws securing the inner panel. Hold the door at the top and twist it from side to side to seat it securely on its hinges.
2. Partially tighten the door screws; do not overtighten screws on a porcelain door because the surface may chip.
3. Test the seal by inserting a piece of paper between the seal and the top corners of the oven. The seal should tightly grip the paper.
4. To replace cabinet-mounted springs, remove the storage drawer and the oven door. Unhook and replace the springs. Replace both springs even if only one is broken.

Replace oven gaskets:

1. Unplug the oven or shut off power at the electrical service panel and pull the oven away from the wall.
2. Remove the gaskets by unscrewing or unclipping any retainers.
3. Locate and loosen the oven liner bolts from the back of the unit.
4. Partially remove the oven liner by rocking it back and forth.Disconnect the gasket from between the liner and the cabinet.
5. Place the new gasket behind the oven liner rim.
6. Reinstall the oven liner and reattach it to the back of the oven.
