How to Replace the Oven Heating ElementReplacing the broiler or baking heating element in a oven is fairly easy to do. It should take less than an hour, maybe as few as 15 minutes. The elements can be replaced from inside the oven, no need to remove the oven cabinet or to even move the oven. Caution: Please read our safety information before attempting any testing or repairs. Before testing the oven heating element or broiler element, unplug the appliance or shut off the power at the fuse box or breaker panel to avoid an electrical shock hazard. If your oven does not heat, does not heat enough or does not broil, a common cause is a burned out heating element. There are two elements, the baking element on the floor of the oven and the broiling element on the ceiling of the oven. They are about the diameter of a pencil and typically supported by metal stand-offs. Read our article on testing the element to determine if replacement is necessary. To replace the heating element, follow the steps provided below.
