The oven door seal was frayed, due to using oven cleaner.
First I removed 7 screws, using a Philips head screwdriver, to allow access to the inside of the oven door. I then removed several more screws to separate the panel holding the seal so that I could remove it and replace it with the new seal. Once the seal was in place I re-inserted all the screws to the panel and door to complete the repair. The knobs just slipped on to replace the ones that broke and fell off.
1. Turn off power at breaker. Take no chances. Turn on each working burner, fan, oven light to be sure there is no power to the appliance. Then, turn them off. 2. Pull knob on switch straight out to remove. 3. Remove 4 Phillips head screws under control panel. Pull panel gently down, then out toward you slightly to release top edge. Rest control panel on self-clean lock knob. 4. Confirm terminals on new switch match up with old switch. 5. Use needle-nose pliers to gently remove wires from old switch one at a time and place them on the corresponding terminal on new the switch. 6. Reverse steps 3, 2 and 1. Test switch and burner.
1. Diagnosed problem = switch at fault not element Made a diagram of wire positions on faulty switch 2. Ordered part = remarkable service! Switch arrived in less than 24 hours 3.Installed new switch 4. Tested appliance = success! 5. Saved $150 and a lot of aggravation Terrific site. Excellent help in figuring out and solving the problem. Two thumbs up!
Remove cover plate, install new switch, replace cover place. Replace one wire at a time, a pair of needle nose pliers may be helpful. Surprise of this job was that I had a torque screw driver (I think that's what it's called) to remove the switch from the cover plate. These are the screws you'll see after removing the knob. Find that driver before you begin, mine was in the garage and for the life of me, I can't remember why I ever had one in the first place. Thanks for a great web site!
The part was easily installed, I will commend you on the prompt shipping as it was delivered in 3 days and 15 minutes later my oven was in working condition. Thanks, Terry
It was difficult to take out the burned out part, because it was in for so long, but WD 40 helped take it out. First I unscrewed the two screws, then pulled the element out enough, so I could disconnect the wires. finelly I took the element out, put in the new one and did the same thing backwards, i.e. attached the wires, screwed in the two screws, then I tested it, and when I saw it worked, it was done.
Really easy ...followed advice posted from others with same problem. Before anything disconnect the power at the breakers and use a voltage detector to verify there is NO POWER!!!! Only need to remove the two phillips screws on the four controller panel, Slide panel away from you to access the controllers. Match wire/connector for connector from the old to new controller. Reassemble, restore power .. Happy wife!!!. She has been on my case to fix this thing for several years.
The switch would not turn off the range. The switch just kept turning but nothing happened.
I removed two screws that held the switch plate together. Then I removed two screws that held the faulty switch to the swtich plate. I then unpluged one wire at a time from the old switch and pluged it into the new switch. Reattached the switch to the switch plate and then reattached the switch plate to the stovetop. Bingo! Everything worked beautifully. It was so easy and I saved ~ $100.00 by doing it myself, as opposed to a quote that I got from a local repairman.
I remove fore screwsfrom the front panel. Then remove two screws to remove the switch and removed the wire plugs then put everything back together again.
