Hello and thanks for any help.
The hidden bake element in the oven is shot. I've looked at many videos on how to access the hidden element but none
are configured like this model. The terminals come out at the same level as the main power wires are screwed in.
There are three screws at the back that when taken out allow a bottom panel to be pulled down. But the panel
rests on the frame that the warming drawer is in.
How does one access the hidden element on this unit?

I don't have any experience with that exact model but it uses the same bake element (# 318254916) whose installation is described in the Q&A section at the following link about a different Kenmore model. Both models were manufactured by Frigidaire (Electrolux) and are quite possibly designed similarly.

See if those instructions might pertain to yours as well.


The above company doesn't ship to Canada so if one is needed, you can order one at the following link for local delivery:
