How to Change the Baking Element in a Dacor W350 Oven

The Dacor W350 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Like other Dacor oven models, the W350 uses an electrical heating element for baking. The element plugs into a pair of power sockets near the bottom of the oven. A separate element for broiling is installed near the top. If the baking element burns out in your Dacor, remove the defective part and take it to an appliance repair shop to match it with the correct replacement. Installing the new element takes less than 15 minutes.
