31-3978-00-01 Tappan Range - Instructions

Replace the old ones with the new ones. Was VERY impressed with the quick delivery!!

prepared the parts as directions displayed, removed the heating coils and popped the hood on the range, simple curcit 2 wires in to the main harness for each coil. snip, plug and twist add heat wrap to seal the new conections and done very simple fix saved me buying another oven....for now

I made a 4' h 3.5' w and 7.5' long powder / ceramic coat oven capable of 700 degrees f. the elements were chosen due to their size and capabilty. I am useing -5- 2950watt elements split on 2 40 amp 120v coil contactors regulated with a PID and thermocouople.

I ordered the element. When it arrived, I simply removed the old one and put in the new one. However, it did not completely solve the problem. The heat is now distributed evenly, but still have to turn the burner to 7.5 to boil water.

The drawer dropped down and would not easily open or shut or fit up good when closed. A quick inspection showed that one of the rear drawer guides was broken. The parts were ordered on a weekend and they showed up on Tuesday. We already had the pots and pans out of the drawer. It took about 10 minutes to put in the new guides (I replaced the one not broken also), clean and lubricate the drawer slides. Good as new. The repair video, although not necessary for this repair, was excellent. Thanks a bunch!

just slid drawer out all the way clipped new parts into place and reinstalled drawer-less than 1 minute to complete entire process-online store was very easy to use,great parts breakdown/pictures helping to ensure proper part selection/quick delivery/will be back for more parts when needed in future and will recommend your site to my friends

Followed instructions shown in video on line.

I just pulled out the drawer, and inserted the replace part into the little hole that the old one was. It works great.Very easy to do.

Reviewed the online repair video a few times then got started. Although only two were bad, I replaced all four terminal blocks. I removed the range top instead of using the built in kick stands. this left me much more room to work and I was able to clean the top of the range really well before getting started. Wires for the back terminals where short and a little difficult to use after cutting off the old terminal blocks. The terminal block mounting option for my style range included with the repair kit would not allow me to utilize the screw for the third wire on the left rear burner. I used a drill to carefully widen the hole in the mount to make the original screw fit as there are no screws included with the kit. This added the extra time to complete the repair. Over all the repair was simple to complete but having to modify the terminal block mount was dissapointing considering the web site selected parts for my specific model number. Still a bargain compared to what a service call or new purchase costs. I will be reparing my ranges from now on.

With screw driver, popped out old glide and popped in new ones. Apparently there are some pieces missing that the front drawer glides slide on. I have not found a picture so I don't know what they are. partselect was very prompt in sending what I did order. Thanks.

Watched on-line video to confirm I was ordering correct part and installation took less than 30 seconds. Video was very helpful.

Removed the old oven racks and put in the new ones.

Looked at the instructions and cut the wires, put the new wires in the block, attached the block to the range, put the new wires to the range wires using the wire nuts. I plugged the element into the block turned on the power, tried the element and it worked. It was really a easy repair.

I did the repair in less then 5 minutes. I took out old element and put in new one and turned it on and I had heat. Works great Thanks the part came in 2 days what a wonderful suprise that was.
