@@BH-gh6qmwas your element in the same spot? I took out every screw imaginable and the element is not where Mike pulled it out. My LG range is completely sealed unit.
@@craigs2536 mine turned out not to be a sealed unit. i saw some videos though. look around, you can cut the sealed unit with an oscillating multi tool.
You my friend is what the internet is all about. I followed each step and replaced the bottom element which showed damage. Thank you so much for your video and helping folks save money. God bless you and your family.
I love this video! Not only because it gives you the ESSENTIALS to get the job done, but I love the style of this guy. So easy going. You can hear kids in the background, probably a great dad as he is so level headed about the project. It seems likely he decided to youtube the job, because it all seems first time. He's got slippers on; his wife (an assumption) behind the camera is in bare feet jumping around to get the best angles. It's great in all respects. Thanks.
Mark, thank you so much for making and sharing this video. It took me 20 minutes to change the bake element out on my LG oven. You've saved me quite a bit of money. I even grabbed a couple extra self tapping screws from the garage before I started.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I watched it once and felt confident I could do the job. Before finding your video, I could not find anything about replacing that hidden element. I also did not want to only pay a repairman but all the calling and waiting either! Thanks, you were a life saver on this one! So grateful!!
Oh, you are so welcome. When ours first had problems, I was way stressed. After reading a bunch on blogs, I thought there had to be someone else having the same trouble. Glad it helped.
So, I would not have even tried this without watching your video. Lucked out getting the last baking element in stock at the local parts store and decided today was the day. Everything went pretty much by the numbers unitl it was time to remove the element itself. Easy peezy? Well, yes it iwas easy to pull out the half that was still intact. Unfortunately the other front half, with all the turns and bends was in several pieces and in some cases fused to the lower plate. Fortunately that sheet metal has some bend and my arms are pretty thin. I had to use a metal spatula from the outdoor grill and some oversized pliers to get the remaining pieces out. Added about a half hour to the project. However, once all the debris (at least most of it) was clear I was able to insert the new element, get all the king's horse and king's men to put LG back together again and - PRESTO! Working like a charm. Thanks Mark.😎👍
Dude, thanks was going to take off the door and the inside of the oven.. Lol.. did the ohm test and was like... Maybe I need to to see if someone has done this before.. Much better solution.. Thank you again!
Thank you so much!!!! Your video was spot on!!! My oven wasn't working and couldn't figure out why, I did the rag test and once there was no sizzle, I knew you were absolutely correct. I ordered my part from Amazon, two days later problem fixed!!! And I'm sure I saved at least $300.00 by doing it myself!!! No repair man to rip me off!!!
Thank you for the great video! Our oven was having a hard time pre heating and everyone told me that it was the element. I decided to search UA-cam and came across your video. I followed your steps below and when I pulled the heating element out it had failed in almost the exact same spot as yours. Now I am just waiting for the element to come from Amazon because the local repair shop wanted over $100.00 for the element...not including repairs. Very simple to do even for this novice!
Great help, Thanks! My rear element cover did not separate easily- I had to use a small Dremel grinder and small chisel to remove it, but it finally came off. I like the rag test at 0:25. (I remembered to check voltage from the receptacle and it was good)
Thank you so much for this video. Our over broke last year and have been using our apartments oven for thanksgiving and Christmas and was just a pain. Came up upon this video almost a month ago and ordered the part from Ebay. And our oven is back to use, all because I came a-crossed this video. Thanks so much. (By the way I’m 18 and fixed it myself)
thank you soo much, bought the element and replaced it with your dyi save so much $$$ from the dealer since my oven isn't on the warranty anymore, thanks again !!!!
MARK - Thanks so much for the Time & Effort to make this Video! (Kudos to your Camera Gal!) Flipping that last small Plate helped me a lot! It wasn't going to work otherwise! Pretty dumb way to build this Oven... but this Video really helped... Your Victory is still helping! Thanks!!
Amen. Not impressed with the design. I spent a long time reading discussion boards until I found an LG technician who shared his secrets. Figured someone else could use that knowledge. Glad it helped.
Thanks for the video it has been a great help. Ours just failed after running a cleaning cycle. What a nightmare to replace. When we remodeled our kitchen we purchase all matching LG appliances. I have replaced the convection fan motor twice in our oven. Our LG dishwasher has had the motor replaced 3 times under warranty and sounds like it's going again. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER LG PRODUCT AGAIN! Total crap for the price we paid.
Mark, thank you for the video. I found this exact model and the power control board was bad. the bake element was missing and the element cover panel was bent in half by the previous owner... based on the cost of repairs, I'll wind up scrapping out the unit... too much money to invest in a 10+ year old appliance....
you're a lifesaver...our bottom element just went out today, and wouldn't you know the warranty just went out 6 months ago. isn't that the way it usually works. thanks for the video, saved me alot of trouble trying to figure all that out for myself.
Test the wires, without dis-connecting anything before you do the continuity test. Put the oven on 350, and you should have 220v or close to it between the to element ends. Make sure to be careful and not tough anything so you don't shock yourself. If you do not have voltage, you may not have an element problem. It could be a board. If you do have the voltage, continue on to the tests he shows on how to check continuity. The Blue and yellow wireds separate, that go to the warmer to make it easier for you to get things in and out. Make sure to reconnect when re-assembling.
Thanks men for the nice video,i change mine too this morning and it was very easy because of you, when my stove stop to bake i want to buy another stove but whit your video i fix for 50 box$ ,thanks again!
Excellent! testing is the only way to go. I hate buying something, and replacing the old part only to find out that it wasn't the problem or it wasn't broken!
anyone else notice the black mark on the Oven PCB? Dude, you should probably have a look at that Oven Relay Control board and make sure there isn't another problem. I've just done the element, and also replaced both relays on that board. Was having connection issues, which created a lot of heat. Replacing those spade connectors will go a long way to preventing more sparks. Great video, wish I'd found it before I did my element. I found my MEE36593202 el;ement at my local appliance repair shop for $20! Great deal...
Excellent video and very helpful! My back panel did NOT break away nice a clean like yours. It was a mangled mess by the time I got it removed. Also, when I installed the new element, the prongs were not centered thru the holes like yours are, I had to adjust the new element just to keep the prongs from touching the panel.
Mine also did not break away. No separation at all. Have a mangled mess and still not finished getting it off. How did you finally get yours off? What tools helped?
Glad to help. This is a frustrating situation without some help. That's where I was when this first happened to me. Just hoped to smooth the way for someone else. 😃
Good tutorial. My unit was a bear to get that last metal panel off to remove the element. Even with the metal parts clipped it was still stuck to the unit. I ended up having to bend it enough to get the element out. For a part that is probably going to be the first to fail, they sure don't design them easy to replace! Anyway, $25 part on Amazon, a few cuts and curse words is better than shelling out $500+ for a new stove! Cheers for the video, it def helped.
Hi Mark, my stove is LSB5862, manufactured in 2010. On disassembly it looks just like yours. I noticed a lot of your viewers mention their element failed in the same area as yours. I wish mine was a simple. It seems to have exploded inside the cavity, breaking into about 6 pieces and tripping the main breakers. One part was fused to the bottom pan. The trick now is to find the replacement part as LG Canada only sells "functional parts" to it's authorized service agents. Thanks for the help.
Hey Jacob. I've got the same model, same problem. I'm in Canada as well. Just wondering how your repair went. All good now? Part from Sears worked? By the way, digging around I found there is a recall on this model. Posting the link in case you didn't already see this. healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2012/15538r-eng.php Thanks for the video Mark!
Hi 21stCenturyTechno. It took two weeks for the part to be delivered, but Sears gave me a discount for it being "back0ordered". Installation was smooth, except for getting the supports through the narrow slot, as Mark explained. Coming out was so much easier when it was in many pieces. Works like a charm again! Thanks for the link on the recall. I'll check that out. /Jacob
It looks like it also might be extremely similar to my KitchenAid Model #KESA907PSS00. This is the closest video I've found to my model. Even better than others that say they are my model number. Thanks, Mark.
We gave this a try. But the cutout for the part that allows access to the baking element was not stamped all the way through so we couldn't just pop it out. We tried drilling and dremeling and it was going to take a long, long time so we gave up.... :(
Wow, I have to say this was the worst experience I've ever had replacing a baking element. Next time I buy a range, I will definitely be making sure the element is not hidden like this! My biggest issue, that cover that you had to cut away was so hard to debond/remove once the little flanges were cut! I don't know how you got away without using gloves, if I had done that I would've sliced my hands open multiple times. Also, while I was tugging away on the cover trying to remove it I had to be super careful not to damage the two wires coming out of the bottom right next to it. This was just horrible. Why not just make it a screw-on cover FFS?! My cover is all mangled up so now I have to straighten it. I plan to use aluminum tape to secure it back, and one screw hole survived so I can also use that. I have to say, LG doesn't give a crap about serviceability. Anyway, thanks for this video, it definitely made it easier. I also got a hold of a service manual so that helped as well, but i was curious to see someone else actually do it so this was helpful.
They really don't care about serviceability. I have an LG refrigerator (only a couple years old) where it tends to frost over the freezer a bit, but to get to the coils you have to remove the back panel, which has a fan basically welded into it with a wire that's nearly impossible to unplug without just yanking on the wires themselves. It's nonsense, I have no idea why they're doing things this way, it has kind of put me off LG products entirely.
Hi, the same thing happened to me. Thank you, your video was very helpful!!! I changed my heater and everything work fine by now. By the way I noted that our heaters broke at the exactly same place!!!! Then I found little stud on the bottom plate of the heater tray exactly where the heater broke. I think this is not a hazard !!!
The way I found my model number was I took my oven model number and went to HomeDepot.com/parts I searched for my model number and then found the part number for the element that way.
Oh, that's the best. I know how frustrated I was when this happened to me. I made this video in hopes someone else wouldn't have to go through the same thing. 😁
Thanks for the video. Bad design, the Frigidaire convection range/oven design is SO much easier to replace the hidden bake element. and to think this is the design from a combined effort (LG= Lucky + Goldstar) It is basically a great idea to get the bake element out of harms/spills/abuse way.
Mark Mason - Thanks for the video. But the box that holds my power supply will not slide out as easily as you did. Did you modify something to get it out so easily? Looks like I'm going to have to try trimming/cutting the downward tabs off to get this out.
Yeah that panel where you cut the 9 flanges and then pry it out... not so easy on a 9 year old oven. About an hour and a half of swearing and implement every tool I owned basically, it's out, but it sure as shit isn't going back in using the prescribed mounting technique lmao.
One thing you didn't do was reconnect the wires to the safety t-stat before you put the back panel back on. I noticed they were still bugged together from when you were probably testing it. Also the relay board in the back looked like it was discolored brown like it had overheated at some point. you should check those wires for looseness.
Thanks Mark I was afraid it was this bad after failing to get at it from the front. I had to basically chisel that lower panel out. it did not pop out like yours! No, getting the element pried back in was NOT unique to your oven! No one else shows how to work on the lower element.
Yea, mine was freaking horrible to remove as well. They muse some strong adhesive to keep it in place along with those little flanges that you have to cut away. Just can't believe they didn't make it a cover that screws on. No excuses for this.
Hello Mr Mason, I am Scott Rowland. I watched your LG (hidden) oven element replace video, my element heats up but no higher than 320 degrees F, so I am reluctant to replace the element since it does heat up, just not high enough for normal 325 to 375 baking. Do you have any advice ? Thank you, Kind regards Scott
Without being there and taking a multimeter and testing your two elements, I can only guess. There is an upper and the lower heating element. When you turn your oven on both elements come on to bring the oven to temperature. Typically, what is happening in your situation is one of them is not coming on and so your oven will not come up the temperature beyond what the element can manage, because it's only heating off of the one element. Multimeters at Home Depot are about 30 bucks. There's lots of UA-cam videos showing you how to do a continuity test. If you watch this video I show you where you would put the terminals on your meter. You literally would just touch the back of the two terminals on both elements. If there is no continuity there is a break in the element. And you would need to replace it. They're not that expensive on amazon. I would go to HomeDepot.com/parts , put your model number in it, and find the part number for the heating element. Then you can go to Amazon and use that part number and you'll find it for much less expensive typically. Good luck.
I'm curious what you found out about yours. Mine is doing the exact same thing. Will only heat up to about 320°. I did notice if I put my oven setting on "broil", it will heat up plenty. Thinking it's that lower element, but not for sure. Advice?
@@michaellightfoot4477 I hooked up a multimeter to the bottom heating element to check the OHMs (continuity). It should have had some measurement and it was unlimited or OS (off the scale) I have ordered a new heating element and haven't installed it yet. It should have measured 10 or 12 instead of infinity. I will message back after installing this weekend
Thanks for the helpful video! When I pulled my old element out I wrecked all the foil. Is this crucial to replace do you think it will be ok to simply replace the new element without the foil?
Great I had the exact stove, my wife is very excited. We went 2 years cooking with just the top element. Is it okay if the new element touches the bottom surface inside the pocket it fits into? Thanks
PanamaVail First, I'm not an LG technician. my personal approach is to restore whatever I'm fixing to as close to the way it was originally as possible. that way I'm not in trouble later. That being said, sometimes you just do your best. You have to be the judge and decide if you're happy with the outcome of the repair.
Thanks Mark, we had to do this this spring, and worked great. I have another question for you though. it looks like our stoves are fairly similar mine being an LSB model. We had an issue with large top ceramic element not working, and took this apart up top and noticed that the green ground wire was screwed into frame, but not actually originating from anything and likely hasn't been since our purchase 7 years ago. Have you had yours apart at all? wondering where this ground should come from. I have searched everywhere for wiring diagrams, but no luck. Thanks
Without looking at it, and assuming the function of the ground wire, all it has to be is connected to the metal frame to ground the element. There's not going to be a wire running to the ground. Just needs to be connected to metal.
@@GetItDoneProjects Thanks for your reply Mark. My confusion comes from a ramdom green wire grounded to frame but not attached to anything....it looks like its broke off from somewhere,but cannot find a source. There are other ground wires for the other functions of stove that hook into something then are grounded to frame.
Excellent video except I didn't find it till after I removed the element and believe my metal cover piece is bent every which way. I cant believe the design of this oven, very poor, sure makes me wonder about buying another LG product. By the way my element failed in the exact same place makes you wonder...bad batch. Thanks again
ed curry, that's a great question. I am not a service technician and so I could not tell you. However, Sears Service Center services LG appliances. I would call them and tell them that's your error code and see if they'll help you out with what's wrong. Then I'd start looking for the parts.
ed curry I just Googled the error on shopyourway.com. It has a technician from Sears saying that the F6 code when you have unpluged and rebooted the range, if it does not reset, then it's a clock control board that is bad. If that is the case I have found, if you go to homedepot.com/parts and put in your model number and manufacturer, they'll tell you the part number for the clock control board. Then I go to Amazon or ebay and search that part number and I can usually find the cheapest parts that way. That's how I solve my problems. Good luck.
Bake elements burn out. It's not abnormal. I've only had it happen once. Can't say I know how many people have this problem with LG ovens over other brands.
Holy Cow...I didn't even investigate, saw no element, ordered one, 70 bucks and 2 weeks later, I go to install and got REALLLLY confused lol. Whatever, oven was brand new, just apparently an 09 model...well imagine my surprise when I just hit "bake " and the towel got hot... Big OOF... So THANKS?? LOL, now I have a backup?? -For sale : 1 lg heating element 35 obo lol
Leave it to LG to "improve" on a design that didn't need any improvement. It is beyond ridiculous. Ranges used to have generic/universal elements that were cheap. The last element I got in 2020 from amazon was $23. And you didn't even need to pull the range out to swap it out.
2023 and this is still the best video for this repair! Great job. Thanks for sharing!
ya im using it for a different model but its close enough

Thanks for posting this great video, sat here scratching my head as to how to access the element, just about to call a repairman $$$$.
Been there! It's an awful feeling. So glad to help.
We gave this a try. But the cutout for the part that allows access to the baking element was not stamped all the way through so we couldn't just pop it out. We tried drilling and dremeling and it was going to take a long, long time so we gave up.... :(
Thank you for this video. It saved me money and time. Much appreciated.
Wow, I have to say this was the worst experience I've ever had replacing a baking element. Next time I buy a range, I will definitely be making sure the element is not hidden like this! My biggest issue, that cover that you had to cut away was so hard to debond/remove once the little flanges were cut! I don't know how you got away without using gloves, if I had done that I would've sliced my hands open multiple times. Also, while I was tugging away on the cover trying to remove it I had to be super careful not to damage the two wires coming out of the bottom right next to it. This was just horrible. Why not just make it a screw-on cover FFS?! My cover is all mangled up so now I have to straighten it. I plan to use aluminum tape to secure it back, and one screw hole survived so I can also use that. I have to say, LG doesn't give a crap about serviceability.
Anyway, thanks for this video, it definitely made it easier. I also got a hold of a service manual so that helped as well, but i was curious to see someone else actually do it so this was helpful.
They really don't care about serviceability. I have an LG refrigerator (only a couple years old) where it tends to frost over the freezer a bit, but to get to the coils you have to remove the back panel, which has a fan basically welded into it with a wire that's nearly impossible to unplug without just yanking on the wires themselves. It's nonsense, I have no idea why they're doing things this way, it has kind of put me off LG products entirely.
I’m also trying to remove a panel. It has no cut real cut lines that would help separation. Terrible manufacturing by LG.
Hi, the same thing happened to me. Thank you, your video was very helpful!!! I changed my heater and everything work fine by now. By the way I noted that our heaters broke at the exactly same place!!!! Then I found little stud on the bottom plate of the heater tray exactly where the heater broke. I think this is not a hazard !!!
So glad it worked well for you.
Yahhh.. this is exactly what I was looking for. You are an angel 😇
What is the model number for the bake element
The way I found my model number was I took my oven model number and went to HomeDepot.com/parts I searched for my model number and then found the part number for the element that way.
Thank you, this video was very helpful! Oven element fixed 😁
Oh, that's the best. I know how frustrated I was when this happened to me. I made this video in hopes someone else wouldn't have to go through the same thing. 😁
Thanks for the video. Bad design, the Frigidaire convection range/oven design is SO much easier to replace the hidden bake element. and to think this is the design from a combined effort (LG= Lucky + Goldstar) It is basically a great idea to get the bake element out of harms/spills/abuse way.
No worries. glad it helped! I agree on the design. Very confusing.
Mark Mason - Thanks for the video. But the box that holds my power supply will not slide out as easily as you did. Did you modify something to get it out so easily? Looks like I'm going to have to try trimming/cutting the downward tabs off to get this out.
A million thanks! Very helpful
So glad!
Thanks for your Video, helped me out perfect!!
Yeah that panel where you cut the 9 flanges and then pry it out... not so easy on a 9 year old oven. About an hour and a half of swearing and implement every tool I owned basically, it's out, but it sure as shit isn't going back in using the prescribed mounting technique lmao.
LOL same, I have to flatten it somehow and then use aluminum tape to stick it back on.
What tool helped you remove that panel? I’m having the same issue. LG design is terrible, at least for this oven.
One thing you didn't do was reconnect the wires to the safety t-stat before you put the back panel back on. I noticed they were still bugged together from when you were probably testing it. Also the relay board in the back looked like it was discolored brown like it had overheated at some point. you should check those wires for looseness.
Thank you so much. You are a life saver for sure.
Thank you for sharing. You are a big help.
you're welcome
Thanks Mark
I was afraid it was this bad after failing to get at it from the front. I had to basically chisel that lower panel out. it did not pop out like yours! No, getting the element pried back in was NOT unique to your oven!
No one else shows how to work on the lower element.
That's good to know. I'm happy to help.
Yea, mine was freaking horrible to remove as well. They muse some strong adhesive to keep it in place along with those little flanges that you have to cut away. Just can't believe they didn't make it a cover that screws on. No excuses for this.
Hello Mr Mason, I am Scott Rowland. I watched your LG (hidden) oven element replace video, my element heats up but no higher than 320 degrees F, so I am reluctant to replace the element since it does heat up, just not high enough for normal 325 to 375 baking. Do you have any advice ? Thank you, Kind regards Scott
Without being there and taking a multimeter and testing your two elements, I can only guess. There is an upper and the lower heating element. When you turn your oven on both elements come on to bring the oven to temperature. Typically, what is happening in your situation is one of them is not coming on and so your oven will not come up the temperature beyond what the element can manage, because it's only heating off of the one element. Multimeters at Home Depot are about 30 bucks. There's lots of UA-cam videos showing you how to do a continuity test. If you watch this video I show you where you would put the terminals on your meter. You literally would just touch the back of the two terminals on both elements. If there is no continuity there is a break in the element. And you would need to replace it. They're not that expensive on amazon. I would go to HomeDepot.com/parts , put your model number in it, and find the part number for the heating element. Then you can go to Amazon and use that part number and you'll find it for much less expensive typically. Good luck.
@@GetItDoneProjects thanks
I'm curious what you found out about yours. Mine is doing the exact same thing. Will only heat up to about 320°. I did notice if I put my oven setting on "broil", it will heat up plenty. Thinking it's that lower element, but not for sure. Advice?
@@michaellightfoot4477 I hooked up a multimeter to the bottom heating element to check the OHMs (continuity). It should have had some measurement and it was unlimited or OS (off the scale) I have ordered a new heating element and haven't installed it yet. It should have measured 10 or 12 instead of infinity. I will message back after installing this weekend
@@et2petty do you have a link on the replacement element?
Great Job, Thank you.
Saved me $1,000
Yes! That's awesome!
Thank you - mission accomplished!
Oh my, and on Thanksgiving day! Someone loves you for getting this done. Way to go!
Thank you!!!!! This was so helpful!
Awesome!
Thanks for the helpful video! When I pulled my old element out I wrecked all the foil. Is this crucial to replace do you think it will be ok to simply replace the new element without the foil?
No
Thank you. Very informative.
Great I had the exact stove, my wife is very excited. We went 2 years cooking with just the top element. Is it okay if the new element touches the bottom surface inside the pocket it fits into? Thanks
PanamaVail First, I'm not an LG technician. my personal approach is to restore whatever I'm fixing to as close to the way it was originally as possible. that way I'm not in trouble later. That being said, sometimes you just do your best. You have to be the judge and decide if you're happy with the outcome of the repair.
Thank you !!
Thanks Mark, we had to do this this spring, and worked great. I have another question for you though. it looks like our stoves are fairly similar mine being an LSB model. We had an issue with large top ceramic element not working, and took this apart up top and noticed that the green ground wire was screwed into frame, but not actually originating from anything and likely hasn't been since our purchase 7 years ago. Have you had yours apart at all? wondering where this ground should come from. I have searched everywhere for wiring diagrams, but no luck. Thanks
Without looking at it, and assuming the function of the ground wire, all it has to be is connected to the metal frame to ground the element. There's not going to be a wire running to the ground. Just needs to be connected to metal.
@@GetItDoneProjects Thanks for your reply Mark. My confusion comes from a ramdom green wire grounded to frame but not attached to anything....it looks like its broke off from somewhere,but cannot find a source. There are other ground wires for the other functions of stove that hook into something then are grounded to frame.
What we need is pictures, then. Couldn't tell you without a picture. Post something on a shared drive with the url here.
thx, your video help a lot!
Thanks bud need this video.
Happy to help
Thanks! This was helpful!
Glad to help. Beats paying the repairman any day!
Do you know if LG recalled these ovens for this issue, because my oven has the same issue 😑
why would they make it so difficult to get at and to replace
Agreed! I feel like they are intentionally making it hard.
Brilliant
Have or know of any videos showing how to replace LG oven convection fan motors?
I haven't seen one. Sorry.
Great video, thank you!
Thank You! Outstanding!
Excellent video except I didn't find it till after I removed the element and believe my metal cover piece is bent every which way.
I cant believe the design of this oven, very poor, sure makes me wonder about buying another LG product. By the way my element failed in the exact same place makes you wonder...bad batch.
Thanks again
Glad you are able to get yours fixed. Beats the heck out of paying the LG service repair man :-)
Engineering needs to better making it hard to many people wanna burn the house down hire a professional and stop being cheap.
I have the same oven and situation. Before i begin this process i wanted to know what is the "F6 senor" error code i got on the display mean??
ed curry, that's a great question. I am not a service technician and so I could not tell you. However, Sears Service Center services LG appliances. I would call them and tell them that's your error code and see if they'll help you out with what's wrong. Then I'd start looking for the parts.
ed curry I just Googled the error on shopyourway.com. It has a technician from Sears saying that the F6 code when you have unpluged and rebooted the range, if it does not reset, then it's a clock control board that is bad. If that is the case I have found, if you go to homedepot.com/parts and put in your model number and manufacturer, they'll tell you the part number for the clock control board. Then I go to Amazon or ebay and search that part number and I can usually find the cheapest parts that way. That's how I solve my problems. Good luck.
Thanks your video helped us too.
you're welcome!
Thank you
You're so welcome. Glad to help.
I wonder if LG will recall this for this issue since it's happening to so many users
Bake elements burn out. It's not abnormal. I've only had it happen once. Can't say I know how many people have this problem with LG ovens over other brands.
Big help. Thank you!
excellent! glad it worked for you.
thanks for doing this and sharing
you're welcome! glad it helped.
Holy Cow...I didn't even investigate, saw no element, ordered one, 70 bucks and 2 weeks later, I go to install and got REALLLLY confused lol. Whatever, oven was brand new, just apparently an 09 model...well imagine my surprise when I just hit "bake " and the towel got hot...
Big OOF...
So THANKS?? LOL, now I have a backup??
-For sale : 1 lg heating element 35 obo lol
Do you still have the element for sale?
@@michaellightfoot4477 yeah bud, it is quite literally in the (plastic) packaging hanging from a rafter in my metal shop
thank you very helpful
you're welcome!
Legend.
Small flat bar and and hammer broke the seal in 5 minutes
you rock thanks
Glad to help!
Leave it to LG to "improve" on a design that didn't need any improvement. It is beyond ridiculous. Ranges used to have generic/universal elements that were cheap. The last element I got in 2020 from amazon was $23. And you didn't even need to pull the range out to swap it out.
I'm here to tell you it *is* fiber glass and my gloves were not thick enough
What a ridiculous design
Thank you for the video, it was very helpful
Great video! Thanks!
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this video!!!!!!
Absolutely! Happy to help.
