Your oven is a big part of your kitchen appliance collection. While a quick reheat in the microwave or toaster oven might be good enough for the kids' after-school or your late-night snack, but for family meal preparation, your oven is the "appliance of choice."

In order for your recipes to turn out mouth-wateringly delicious, everything needs to be working properly. If your electric oven has stopped cooking evenly, doesn't heat to the correct temperature, or won't heat at all, your oven heating element could be the culprit.

There are usually two heating elements in your [oven](https://info.puls.com/resources/oven-and-stove)—broil and bake elements. You can usually diagnose this problem by checking to see if the heating elements are glowing red.

If they're not or are only partially glowing, you'll need to do an oven heating element replacement. If you're handy, you can save a little money by doing the job yourself by following these steps (although, it’s always best to [hire a repair professional](http://puls.com/home-appliances)).

## Identifying the Part

![oven heating element replacement](https://blog.puls.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1077275426-1.jpg?width=1200&name=shutterstock_1077275426-1.jpg)It's important to use the same exact heating element that is currently in your oven. You can usually find the proper part number by visiting your oven manufacturer's website or appliance parts website.

Enter your exact make and model so you obtain the proper replacement part.

## Replacing the Heating Element

![Puls oven heating element repair](https://blog.puls.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20181204-Puls-0020-1.jpg?width=1000&name=20181204-Puls-0020-1.jpg)

- Safety should be your first priority, so turn off the electrical breaker that operates the oven and unplug the appliance from the outlet.
- Remove the racks inside the oven to get to the back of the oven.
- Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove all the screws holding the element to the oven wall.
- Slide the element out a few inches, until you can see where the element prongs are connected to the electrical supply, disconnect and remove it from the oven.
- Attach the new heating element to the prongs, slide it back into place, and re-install the screws to the wall of the oven.
- Plug your oven back in and flip the circuit breaker back on.
- Turn your oven to bake mode and look for the element to glow red. A protective coating on the element may smoke initially as it burns off.
