Rick's Tips for Replacing an Oven Heating Element!!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Greetings! As some of you may have heard, the heating element on our oven went kaput two days before Thanksgiving! We found a local appliance repair parts and service that carried the part and by luck had it in stock. Rick was able to replace the element by himself, saving labor costs and a wait of over a week.
The part cost us just over $50.00 which is about 10 percent of the cost of a new stove of a similar make and model. We can't afford $500 for a new stove, but we could afford the element. Here is how Rick switched out the bad element for the new one.
DISCLAIMER: When doing any home repair, make sure you take all necessary safety precautions. If you have no basic knowledge of tools, repairs, or electricity, you should not undertake this repair yourself without first consulting someone who knows how these things work!!! You do this at your own risk and we assume no responsibility for any injury or damage that may result. Unfortunately we have to make this disclaimer.
Rick understands how to do this and he was able to fix the oven with little effort. He also took the time to use a putty knife on the bottom of the oven compartment and then vacuum out all the debris that was left behind. This will make it even easier to clean my oven once I go to do that, which will be soon.
We hope that this video is helpful to you if you ever need to do this for yourself.
Happy Fixing!

I was actually glad your oven was dirty. Us normal people can identify. Usually in a video like this the oven would be spotless, not real world. Thanks, very informative.
I ordered an element from Amazon for $23 and fixed it myself with the help of this video 😊
I know this is 6 years later, but you helped me save labor costs as well. So thanks a lot. Cheers! And happy Thanksgiving!
Excellent tip on clamping the wires to keep them from receding back in out of sight.
Yes I had watched another video and hadn't seen that. Good idea.
Thanks! Our landlord will not come fix our oven and Christmas is approaching quickly. I have the confidence now that we can do this repair ourselves!
Noreen your husband Rick reminds me of my husband. Anytime I have some kind of problem with anything around the house he jumps right in there and finds someway of fixing it. He is my hero and Rick looks like your hero.
Thanks for your video. My element burned into this morning. Your clip is a big help.
My oven did that too! I also screamed. Rick did not come to help. Please send Rick and a screwdriver...I love your recipes. You are my new best friend forever. :-)
Thank you as a single Mom I couldn’t afford an appliance repair call. 🙏
Thank you for making this video!
Very helpful! The clamp idea pure genius! If and when my oven element was to ever go out I'm going to pretend that I am smarter than my husband and do this lol! Thanks guys
Thank y'all so much. You just saved us from calling an appliance repairman!
Im here on the day before thanksgiving... just like in your video... this helped me out a lot !
Noreen, you're so cute "yes my oven is messy" lol, but a messy oven is a much loved oven =)
yall are too cute and adorable. my element broke right b4 thanksgiving and this video helped me get an idea of what to do now
One Thanksgiving I thought I would clean mine the day before. Bad idea, the self clean lock on the door wouldn't unlock. Lol memories
Clamping the wires was a great tip. Thank you! Let the cookie baking resume!
I had the same thing happen on Christmas Eve...Thank heavens for my big counter-top Roaster...!! hee hee.... Yay Rick!!..I will be watching this again... great tutorial!!
Thank you! I didn't have a clamp, so I used binder clips. The new element is ordered, and I'm ready!
Wow! I'm impressed a man that thinks like a woman. Never even heard of a man that would take the extra precaution, or even realize he might lose something he's working on. And fix it so that don't happen, just like women do. Either you or his mother raised him well. He's a keeper! You are so blessed. Thanks for the great video, you guys are awesome!!!
My element just did this today, the second one I've had to replace. I'll thoroughly clean my oven while the broken element is out of there. It's been making the smoke alarm go off anyway...
Good work Rick, I like all the handy hints on how to do things. Love yours and Noreen's videos.
The sign of an excellent cook is when you have actually worn out your oven! :)
I line the bottom of the oven with foil. super helpful when cleaning time comes around. thanks for the vid
Rick, your the man, between you and Mr Volfie, we all have it made, lol, thanks for the video on how to fix stuff!
Love it when a plan comes together. Great job.
I just got a new oven, dishwasher and refrigerator delivered from Sears today. I sure hope my new appliances last as long as my old set did. I had gotten used to lighting everything with a match for so long that having fire at a click of a switch seems amazing! lol
Clothespins will work in a pinch just as well as clamps.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Mine blew out 3 of the 4 top burners with such a loud bang - it was like a gun shot ! scared the beans out of me ! I got a new one- I couldn't wait to give the old one afew hard wacks with a sledge hammer
Bought one before we got a chance to get to know it we were running. Both E) then one day it wouldn’t heat up right! Had a hole in the bottom element
That looked easy! Thanks, Rick!
Bless you for this video ! A friend just inquired about fixing a defunct heating element in her oven !!!
Thanks for the simple explanation.
Awesome! I'm subscribed to your channel and love watching your hubby's tips and such. Thanks.
THANKS NOREEN/RICK I APPRECIATE THIS AND NOW I CAN REPAIR MY ELEMENT IN MY OVEN!:)
I like to remove the oven door when doing repairs inside the oven. The very first time I was "being handy" I succeeded in leaning on the door and breaking the hinges. The element repair was not nearly as costly as fixing the door......loved the idea for clamps on the wires much better than the duct tape I used.
I have always done the same when cleaning the oven, makes it so much easier. I found that if you use Dawn Power Dissolver spray and spread around with your fingers then let it sit over night all that brown crud will come off the oven door etc easily. It works great on the drip pans of burners too with a little Soft Scrub. Get into a routine of once a week or so and your pans stay fairly new looking without all the crud.
KissHope there is a product called Bar Keeper's Friend - It is a powder that can be used on any surface - I use it on the inside and outside of my gas stove. I will give the Dawn product a try.
Lyn Llinse I have used Bar Keeper's Friend and Bon Ami both great products. The Dawn spray somehow cuts through even old baked on gunk that's why I love it. Also of course great for tough to clean pots/pans after dinner, let sit for at least 30 mins. Lastly if you are like me and only remember to clean the top of your range hood and fridge every few months, Dawn melts that greasy film away in mins. It can be hard to find at grocery but Walmart usually has.
Ours did this the other day. You'd think they'd have designed them by now that they don't fail so spectacularly.
My broiler element went off like a small transformer blowing. I heard it from the other room.
Rick Rocks!!
Awesome share Rick!! WTG!
he is so handy! :D
jakluk4 Kinda reminds us of someone else my dear precious cyber daughter "winks" Matt ring a bell "grin" You girls have great men in your lives!! I love you dear heart... share some hugs with your great family for me and two for little Mason!! ♥
so do YOU! :D xoxoxoxo love ya, Mama Rae!
Great video, guys. This just happened to me and thanks to your video, I think I could easily do this myself!
This video was very helpful - Thank You!
Very helpful video!! What make and model is this oven? And where did y'all buy the replacement element from? Same thing happened to my oven.
Its a very old oven. We looked up the part and bought one locally.
I can remember having to change those elements. I have a gas range now and the only thing I have to worry about is the electric starter on the burners.
This is good information to keep on hand. You never kno when u will have to replace something like that. Keep on cooking :-)
Rick u made that look so easy,thank for sharig
This is me going into thanksgiving 😞
your arm was in the way so couldn't see the process, does the thing come out of the socket or do you have to unscrew it or what, does it just slide in? do you have to crimp it together or what?
I was SHOCKED how much an element for my oven cost the last time I had to replace it. Had to order it from Lowe's or some where and pay s&h. just ridiculous.
Mine just went out on thanksgiving and I didn't realize till today and I was gonna make spaghetti pie :( when ur a cook, it sucks to have this happen. And my oven is messy too :) hey I love to cook and bake!!!!!
Can a piece of plastic that fell in there be dangerous
It must have been one of those years. My oven control panel died on Thanksgiving day as I was preparing dinner for my family. :(
What's the name of the machine you used to test continuity
We had this happen to us just last month. I know what you mean about the bright light. Our cost a lot to replace. You don't know how much until it goes out.
cool video, ty rick.
Omg thanks so much for shariing this ours element did the same thing but i was making donuts and had to fry them on rhe stove top. Love this idea were finally gonna get it fix :-) love your channel xo -Vinecea
My sister had thanksgiving at her house this year. Hers went out Thanksgiving day!!!! We were having ham n cheese potatoes. We end up crock poting the ham and stuffing. Neighbor let us cook our bread and pie there cause she lived in apartment complex. This is not fun
Rick your hand is in the way ;) hehe Couldn't resist sorry!
why is it so hard to separate the element from the two leads? There are several other movies like this, but in no one seems to have the problem that I have: I can't get them separated.
Mine looks soldered then what
Here's a great business for your family: "Rent-A-Rick". I would be terrified but now at least can try to fix this problem. As for your oven being a mess Noreen, you cook and bake 10 times as much as many other people - I wouldn't want to eat food from someone whose oven is always sparkling. Too suspicious!
hmm can not seem to watch your video altho your ads have no problem loading several times.????
