the probe guard or mounting clips.
B. Run the probe wire thru the panel opening
before lifting panel out.
5. From the element being replaced, remove the
hold down clamps, the mounting bracket screws
at the top, then remove the element.
NOTE: The mounting bracket is sealed with RTV
which may still hold the element after the screws are
removed. Also, in some cases, the ring terminal
connected to the element may interfere with easy
removal. If access to the left side panel and/or the top
panel is available, see ALTERNATE ACCESS.
6. Disconnect the lead wires from the element.
7. Clean RTV residue from the mating surface
inside the oven, apply new high temperature RTV
to the heating element mounting bracket and
reverse procedure to install.
8. Check for proper operation.
Alternate Access
NOTE: If the heating element is not easy to remove
from inside the oven cavity, and access to the left side
panel and/or the top panel is available, this alternate
removal method may be used.
NOTE: On stacked ovens, if the bottom oven is being
serviced and the heating element to replace is on the
right side, the ovens must be unstacked to access the
heating element terminals through the top. Once
unstacked, follow the removal procedure below.
1. Perform steps 1 thru 4 under FRONT ACCESS.
2. If the element is on the left side:
A. the insulation at the top to expose the
element terminals.
B. Remove the lead wires from the element
being replaced. Proceed to step 4.
