Changing an Oven Bake Element

A couple of weeks ago, I was preheating the oven to make a fruit cocktail cake. I started hearing a funny noise. I finally realized it was coming from my oven. I opened the door, and it was sparking and glowing. I quickly closed the door and shut the oven off. The Boy promptly reminded me to get the fire extinguisher. I opened the door again, and it was still sparking and glowing. So, I ran in to check the breaker box, and the breaker had not blown. So, I turned it off, or so I thought, according to the way it was marked. Well, I came back and looked in the oven again, and it was still glowing, so, I turned off the breaker above the one I thought was the stove. That finally worked, and the sparking and glowing went out. Sadly, my oven element was burned in two. I thought it would cost a fortune to fix, so I bought a hot plate and have been cooking our meals on that, with the exception of using my Mom's oven twice. One of my brothers in Christ is an appliance repairman, so I was asking him about it, and he said I just needed a new element. Friday, I called the nearest appliance parts store, and they had the element I needed. It was around $30. So, I went to town and picked it up. Saturday, I changed the element. Here's how:

1. Make sure you have turned the breaker for the range off! You don't want to be zapped, right?
2. Remove the screws holding the element in place.
3. Pull out the old element.
4. Clip clothespins (or something similar) onto the wires so that they don't slide back down into the oven. The man at the appliance parts store told me to do that.
5. Pull the wire clip thingies (sorry, don't know the term for them) off the old element.
6. Put the wire clip thingies on the new element.
7. Slide it back into the oven.
8. Replace screws.
9. Turn breaker back on.
10. Cook something yummy in your oven that you just fixed yourself! :-)
