How to solder the ends back on a bake element

I just got this stove a few weeks ago and was not aware that the screws that hold the bake element in place had been removed. then somehow the element got pulled out of place. So when i open the oven door it caused the element to arch off the metal frame and burned one the connector ends off. So I need to know howto re-connect the tip to the element

If the bake element terminal was shorted and burnt off, you will need to replace the bake element with a new element. Supply a model number and brand of appliance and I will supply a part number for you. Soldering will not hold as the solder will melt and break away shorting again. Possible to spot weld it if enough terminal left.

the thing is that it's really old and i can't find a model number on it anywhere. i just know it's a sears kenmore self cleaning oven. white in color. i have searched online for hours and can't seem to find one that matches mine.

Take a digital picture of the element. I will see if I can identify it. We have over 500 different elements in stock. Eric

SOURCE: I need to replace the element on the bottom oven.

Hi. Hold the fan with your hand, and unscrew center nut, N.B It is a left hand thread, so unscrew it clockwise as though you were tightening it the conventional way, and vice versa for tightening it up.
Please `rate my solution.
Thanks.
P.S. You can bend the fan blade if needed.

SOURCE: No power to Magic Chef Electric oven

I'm not familiar with this oven, but it ought to have protection against this kind of exciting burn-out.
This could be a fuse: find it and replace it, or it could be a circuit breaker: look for a reset button.
As I said, I don't know this oven; this attempt to help is based on the general idea that it ought to have some built in protection.

SOURCE: I need to replace baking element on model

Hello there:
By the way that you have described it this is right things that i have learned is be careful taking out the screws i have seen them strip out or break and dont tighten them too much once it is snug turn it 1/4 turn more
also clean the area that it connects to really well so it does not short out the new element and Please do not forgett to unplug the oven ok
hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards michael

Maytag Oven. The bake do not heat, the broil is ok. what is the problem ?

Look at the wiring diagram... The manual reset Thermal Limiter Switch (part number 74008715), located on the lower rear insulation retainer can keep both elements from working, not one at a time... I would inspect the back of the bake relay for a burnt/failing solder joint. Swapping the BAKE and BROIL leads is an acceptable test, but if you put the bake leads on the broil and still get no heat: check the control relay. If the broil leads will not heat the bake element, you have a bad element or bad connection. Be sure to do all testing of the elements with at least one wire detached so as not to red a back circuit.

Oven is slow to heat up

The next thing you want to check is the element, remove the power looking at the element you will see two screws that hold it in place , remove the two screws and pull the element towards you you should see two wires on it , check to see the wires are still connected and also look over the element for damage and get back to me , if you are good with a tester when the element is pulled towards you , turn the power back on making sure the ends where it is connected to the wires are not touching any part of the stove after you turn on the power check the two ends to see if you have the 220 volts , Just be very careful I don't want you to get zapped !! I think by doing this you will see what is wrong, get back to me , if you need to reach me during the week and i am not on here email me at [email protected]

Oven will not pre heat

Hello,

Simple to test a bake element or range top burner element.

First, visually see if the element has molten gobs on the tubular-looking element, and/or is cracked. It will be obvious.

And if you do not see anything obvious, you should still test the element with a voltmeter. Many elements are set up so you can unscrew a screw where the element gets attached at the inside rear of the oven, and then pull the element into the stove a couple inches, enough to unhook the wires and then be able to put a voltmeter tester on each end of the element (set to the OHMS setting) to see if the element has continuity.

IF the element is good, then...

...You can also then make sure the wires are not contacting metal(BE SURE OF THIS),... and then plug the stove back in and test the wires to see if you have 220 volts. If not see, which of the two wires has 110. Then if you know which one does not have the 110, then you UNPLUG THE STOVE again and then access the rear of the stove and trace that dead wire from the element plug-in back in the range. You will physically be able to trace that wire.

When working with 220 elements in anything...please realize that usually one leg wire of the 220 volts (in other words, 110 volts) is always 'hot' even though the switch to it is off!! Always remember that!

How to change the bake element in a GE stove

Unplug or turn off all power to the oven. With most ovens you can then unscrew the element from inside the cabinet with either a screwdriver or a 1/4 nut driver. carefully pull the element out with the wires attached and dont let the wires go back through the holes. Unplug or unscrew the wires from the old element and plug into or screw onto the new depending on the type of terminal. If it is a push on type terminal make sure the connection is tight, if they are not tight pull the terminal back off and tighten the gap with pliers and recconect. put it back together and you are done. If by chance the wires are not long enough you will need to pull the stove out, remove the back panel and make the connections from the back. Good luck, it is not hard.

Bottom heating element burned out. Can I get a new one and how do you replace it?

You will need the model number of the machine, Once you have the model number, you can call a parts store to get the part you need.

When you have the part. Very important! First Turn off the power to the machine at the breaker box or sometimes called fuse box.
There are usualy 2 screws holding the bake element in, Remove them and pull the element out untill you see the end of the element and wires attached to them. NOTE : Go slow. You will see the wires at the end of the element. Just take a look at the new one to see what it will look like. Next, remove the wires from the old bake element, they are either screwed on or cliped on with a spade terminal. Take the old bake element and new element and make sure they match. now put the wires on the new bake element and reinstall. Then you can turn the power back on and test.

They last 3-5 years depending how much you use your stove.
Disconnect POWER to the stove, remove the screws holding the lower element to the back of the inside of the stove, pull out carefully and remove the 2 screws holding the wires on. Check the element with an ohm meter, it should read 0 (zero or very close) resistance on an ohm meter. You may also take it to a store that sells replacements ($25) and they may check it for you.

My whirlpool gold accubake system-oven is not heating right. about a few weeks back I saw the bake element spark and thought it was no problem, but I guess I was wrong. Did I fry the bake element or is...

yes if you turn the oven on bake that element should heat pretty quick, if not its toast..
if i had a model # i could be more specific but generally all you'd need to do is turn off the breaker or unplug the unit.
remove the screws that hold it to the rear of the cabinet, and slide the element straight back towards the front enough to expose the screw or slide on connectors.
now you can either remove 1 wire at a time and have the new element sitting under the old one and transfer then as you go, or remove 1 wire and bend if over some so it won't slide back into the unit and get lost..
after the wires are reconnected slide the element back into place and replace the screws and restore power and cook..
hope this helps,
best of luck,
