Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
The burner was shortening out and would work sometime. The first time I replace the burner but the new one shorted out quickly.
I unplugged the stove. Took out the burner and removed receptacle by pulling it out of the bracket and clipping the wires. One thing you want to make sure is that when you clip the wires from the receptacle you're replacing you leave enough wire so that you can connect them to the wires on the new receptacle when it is in place on the stove. I had just enough but would have liked more. The bracket I received didn't match the one on the stove so I used the one on the stove since the receptacle itself was the same as the one I was replacing.

replace the cook stove's drip bowls instead of cleaning them
I removed the burners and then the older drip bowls of the cook stove--and then I put on the new drip bowls and put back on the burners. My mechanical skills were sufficient for the replacement of the drip bowls.

surface burner stopped working. Was not heating up.
The repair only took me 10 minutes to do. I purchased the surface replacement kit from partselect.com. The part arrived in two days. The instructions were very simple. I read the instructions on line during my purchase. When I received the new part, I simply did the repair. Including shipping, the cost was less than $20.00. A service call would have been at least 5x the cost. Thank you for being there Partselect. (Tim from south bend indiana)

Replace lower heating element in oven
Simply unscrew the heating element attachment and remove, then replace with new one. My biggest problem was remembering how the oven door is removed to gain reasonable access to inside rear of oven. After exploring for a few minutes and pulling on oven door , it slide of it's hingrs - and then I remembered. Next problem was my wife making me clean the oven when the old element and oven door was removed.
