5. In the wire tray, first label, and then detach all six wire connectors
(four are for the temperature limiters, and two are for the wires to
the element terminals). See Figure 120, page 71.
6. Carefully clip the wire tie on the harness to release the wires. Be
careful not to cut any wires (see Figure 120, page 71).
7. Remove the frame and then remove the element gasket (see
Element Gasket and Frame – Removal and Replacement,
page 69).
8. Set the glass element assembly back down and carefully guide
the element terminal wires through the receptacle when lifting the
element off of the housing (see Figure 122, page 71).
9. Remove the matting from the element housing (see Figure 123,
page 72).
NOTE: For any servicing that requires lifting the glass heating
element (such as removing or replacing the slides and
temperature limiters), check if thermal tape is on the glass
element and if the matting installed is 3-holed. If so, remove the
thermal tape from the glass element and temperature limiters as
the tape is no longer being used, and also replace the matting with
the new 1-holed matting.
10. For temperature limiter diagnostics, see Warming Drawer
Diagnostics, page 19.
11. Remove the temperature limiter to be replaced as well as the
respective retainer, according to steps 12 and 13.
12. [If no thermal tape is on the element and matting has 1 hole]:
Skip to step 14.
13. [If thermal tape is on the element and matting has 3 holes]:
a. Remove both temperature limiters and respective retainers
(even if only one needs replacing). If thermal tape is installed,
gently pull the two temperature limiters and their respective
retainers off of the double-sided thermal tape (see Figure 127).

b. Remove any thermal tape and residue by hand from any glass
element and temperature limiter that you plan to reuse.
NOTE: You should be able to scratch the tape off of the top of
a temperature limiter with a fingernail and get most of it off, but
do not scratch the glass Any residue that isn't raised enough
from a temperature limiter surface to catch with a fingernail is
not enough to worry about. Any object used for scraping
should be used carefully so that the top of the temperature
limiter is not dented. Surface scratches are ok, but any dents
on the top of a temperature limiters will require replacement.
