2480 Hoover Cooktop - Instructions

Remove and replace grease filter.

Replaced the switch and put the new surface element in and it works great.

It was worth the money for that little screw, since I didn't have to run all over trying to find the right one.

perfect

After buying a 'universal' part at Lowe's and it not fitting correctly and shorting out the burner, I went online and found this source for an exact replacement part. Beside having to disassemble the drop in stove burner two or three times it went well when I had the correct part. I lost one screw somewhere and that delayed me a short time to find a replacement. Thus the 1 to 2 hours. It would have been about a 30 minute job if I had been smarter.

Pulled out electric heating element and replaced with new. I have had this frustrating problem for 2 years and after replacing the elements they now work like new! My only question, why did it take me so long to replace???

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.

pulled he cooktop, replaced the recepticles, reassembled.

shut circuit breaker, remove two screws, lift knob panel, move wires to new switch, remove and replace switch, clean surface

I installed a new infinite switch, which created a new problem. The large burner switch turned the small burner on. I replaced the large burner switch an that stopped that problem. But now the small burner still only comes on to high temp. Need help in determining how to correct that problem.I had already replaced the small burner switch before I replaced the large burner switch and I still have the small burner only coming onn to high heat.

Replacing the switch was very easy. First I unplugged the range to be sure there would be no electrical power to the switch. Then I removed four screws to remove the switch cover plate (located above the oven door). I disconnected the wires from the pin connectors on the broken switch, then removed the switch by removing one hex nut. The new switch was installed by reversing the removal procedure. Took about 15 minutes total time.

How I did the repair is no consequence. The service of easily finding the part on your site is GREAT! and the shipping time more than reasonable! Thanks!

I originally ordered the knobs that appeared to be an exact match for the ones on the stove top (Part # PS1515077). However those knobs are designed to fit on D post stems. I finally ordered PS48861 which are designed to fit double flat post stems which is what I have on my stove top. New parts fit perfectly. Remove old knobs put new ones on. Total repair time less than one minute. Part Select was great about getting the original parts and replacement to me quickly.

Followed the directions. Piece of cake!!

Thanks, have been looking for a replacement for this dinosaur filter forever. It is great!
